Advocate Apparel Inspired by the Peacock Mantis Shrimp

The peacock mantis shrimp is a strikingly colorful and highly predatory marine crustacean found in the Indo-Pacific region. Its body is typically about 10 cm (4 inches) long and it has club-like appendages that it uses to smash and kill prey. These smashing appendages have the fastest strike in the animal kingdom, with an acceleration faster than a .22 caliber bullet.

In addition to its powerful smashers, the peacock mantis shrimp has impressive visual abilities, with 12 color receptors (compared to humans' 3) and the ability to perceive polarized light. Color and polarized light signals are thought to play a big part in mantis shrimp behavior especially communication with other mantis shrimp.

The peacock mantis shrimp is named for its vibrant coloring, which can include startling shades of green, blue, and orange. It lives in burrows in coral reefs and feeds on a variety of prey, including crabs, mollusks, and small fish. Unfortunately, the corals they call home are losing their vibrant color due to increasing bleaching events.

5% of sales from your purchase of this product are donated to Coral Watch

“Waterlust and CoralWatch have teamed up to help preserve coral reefs and their colorful inhabitants for future generations to see. Mantis shrimps have been watching over the reef for millions of years. By supporting our cause, by wearing the fabulous Mantis Moxie water-garb Waterlust provides, and by learning more about the reef through the CoralWatch citizen science program, you can help watch over the reef too.”

Mantis Moxie Leggings

Deep pockets, sturdy feel, fits as expected

Love them, looking forward to wearing them in summer!

Super flattering!

These are some of my favorite Waterlust leggings! As with all of their leggings, they are super comfortable, form fitting without being too tight, and perfectly functional. The pockets are clutch! What really gets me though is the design. Shoutout to the Waterlust design team because the mantis print is laid out so it perfectly highlights my legs and thighs in all the right places. It's also such a unique print that I always get compliments. Love these leggings so much!

Fabulous product and customer service

I couldn’t love these anymore…they are just as beautiful as pictured and I got so many compliments!
I was also floored with the customer service. FedEx messed something up with my shipment and I was going to miss the package in time for my dive trip. Customer service overnighted a new shipment straight to my vacation destination in Maui and made sure I got them on time for our trip. Thanks again for all the help, Waterlust!
