Shrimp called Pink Floyd produces killer sound.
A shrimp with a bright pink claw was recently discovered in the Pacific Ocean and has been named after one of rock's big fish -- the legendary Pink Floyd.
The Pink Floyd pistol shrimp was discovered by a team of scientists from Seattle University, the Oxford University Museum of Natural History and Brazil's Universidade Federal de Goiás.

Its rock 'n' roll name was inspired by the research team's love of Pink Floyd's music.
Synalpheus pinkfloydi belongs to the family of pistol or snapping shrimps.
