Why did you put Shrimp in quotations?

Because gigantic (means BIG) and shrimp (means small) is a oxymoron??

This and they're not quite sure what the species is according to the FWC Facebook page.

Scientists think it's some type of mantis shrimp (which are actually not related to shrimp, but are a type of crustacean called a stomatopod), and continue to review the photos to identify the exact species.
