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.

CoralWatch developed the Coral Health Chart in 2002.

The Coral Health Chart is used by dive centers, schools, conservation groups, tourists, and scientists. To get involved simply download a Do-it-Yourself kit from their website, request a Coral Health Chart and you are ready to start monitoring. You can even help save the reef and the home of the mantis shrimp from home.

So Vibrant & Vivacious

Great fit, fun, sexy, sassy print that stays put whether Im doing kettlebell workouts, or paddleboarding. Quick drying and tons of compliments. Im 5ft 4in - I love that I get to cut them to my preferred length and for reference I wear a size Mighty. Highly recommend these!

Mantis Moxie Leggings

Stunning design as always

This is my 7th set of waterlust. The minute I saw the print I knew I would have to order. So comfortable in water as well as when hiking on land.
Hope there is a sunsuit to go with soon. I pair with my Fountain of youth suit for the time being.

Beautiful!

I love my new mantis shrimp leggings. They look amazing and feel great, as usual per all my previous Waterlust purchases. 👍🏽

Nicest leggings ever!

They feel so comfortable but also supportive. And the design is just stunning. Can’t wait to wear them snorkeling!

Fun and fit well

Fun and fits well, true to sizing recommendations.
