Pistol shrimp produce the loudest biological sound: their snaps create cavitation bubbles reaching ~210 dB, producing a shockwave and brief heat spike that can stun or kill small prey.

L. chalumnae: western Indian Ocean waters.
L. menadoensis: Indonesian waters.
Both species are considered threatened. Individuals may live 50–70 years.
