I think it would have been better without the dubbed sound effects.

Chilaxe, no, it doesn't, but it does make a cracking sound not unlike that of a pistol.

Good thing you included sonoluminescence in the tags, cuz people search for that all the time.

Might as well add 'alpheidae' to the tags while we're being ostentatious.

I read about these things! They can actually shatter normal glass (i.e. fishtank) with their claws, so they have to be kept in tanks with thicker glass. I would so buy a bulletproof fishbowl.

It's from the BBC's production "Weird nature". You gotta see that, un-Fin-believable stuff in there.

Strangely enough, we (meaning humanity) have just figured this out for ourselves... in our usual extreme style: http://www.purdue.edu/UNS/html4ever/2004/0400302.Taleyarkhan.fusion.html

I'm blown away by the fact that this crustacean has beaten us to this discovery but I'll give us humans the props for taking it to the level we have... that is, nuclear fusion in a bubble. woot.
