The Synalpheus pinkfloydi shrimp, discovered in 2017, has some strange attributes. This member of the snapping shrimp family, which 'fire' bubbles to stun their prey by snapping their large claws, gets its rock'n'roll name from the band Pink Floyd, due to its flaming pink claw. Stranger still, its 210-decibel snap is so loud, it can kill nearby small fish. It's definitely not just another click in the trawl.
