Craig,
Yeah... but the chief caretaker was actually trying to down play the
publicity. IN fact, he said he was amazed. He was just like one of us...just
a reefer....every time he tried to down play the "killer" stuff, the
interviewer would get him off that subject and press him on the "dangerous"
sea monster. He started talking about live rock, live sand, and the role
the Mantis played in the ecosystem but the interviewer kept trying to make
the Mantis out as the second coming of Godzila!!!!
They even played the theme from Jaws as they showed a clip of the Mantis
taking a piece of shrimp off a stick.....
