And in that continuum of you can't make this stuff up, here's another one.  A shrimp species that kills its prey with sound was recently given ascientific name - Synalpheus  pinkfloydi.  Yes, Pink Floyd has a shrimp for a name-sake.  This shrimp opens its pink claw and then rapidly slams it shut generating frequencies up to 210 decibels,

Synalpheus  pinkfloydi

louder than a typical rock concert and loud enough to kill small nearby fish.  The inspiration for the name is actually the pink color of this deadly sound claw rather than the urban myth that the band, Pink Floyd, once played so loudly at a concert that fish in a nearby pond died.  It's more likely that the fish perished from a concert-related event which had nothing to do with the loudness of the music.  The event ended with the emergence of a 50-foot inflatable octopus, shrouded in dry ice, from the small lake that separated the stage from the audience.  The octopus was inflated by underwater explosive flares.  The fish more likely died from the dry ice dumped in the lake by the band or the vibrations caused by the exploding flares.

jaggerai, another shrimp species named after Rolling Stones front man, Mick Jagger.  Dr. Sammy DeGrave, head of research at Oxford University's Museum of Natural History, seems to be the nomenclature guru for naming crustaceans after rock bands.  Rock on!
