The decapod (crustaceans, such as a crab, lobster, shrimp or prawn) is made up of 20 body segments grouped into two main body parts: the cephalothorax and the pleon .

Unfocused microwaving of the body as opposed to focal application to the head; A device called the CrustaStun has been invented to electrocute shellfish, such as lobsters, crabs, and crayfish, before cooking. The device works by applying a 120-volt, 2 to 5 amp electrical charge to the animal.

[10]: 289 Each somite, or body segment can bear a pair of appendages: on the segments of the head, these include two pairs of antennae, the mandibles and maxillae; [5] the thoracic segments bear legs, which may be specialised as pereiopods (walking legs) and maxillipeds (feeding legs).

With over 450 species of mantis shrimp worldwide, they are a common sight seen in a variety of different colors and can grow anywhere from 12 to 15 inches in length.
