What this video does is promotes the exploitation of a creature that does not like to be touched to others that now want one, because they are cool and you can wow your friends with your bravery.
Have you ever seen me post to anyone encouraging anything I have done?
Give me a break.

I never mentioned anything about you "showing off" or "boasting", nor is that the point of my rebuttal. My point is,
I think its disgusting that you would wish ill fortune on someone for a mistake they made.
People let him know its a bad idea, but I don't see anyone wishing the loss of a finger, which is possible. Granted I have better things to do than read through 100+ youtube comments, and I'm sure there is a few "cool man!" comments, but the people who know better have posted, and should be a warning for anyone else. (quoted below)
Maybe posting this video has given the kid an eye opener from the people commenting, who know its a mistake to try that, and will think twice before he does it again.
Even the last quote, "cool vid, but I wouldn't grab one".

I hope for his sake it doesn't happen, but at the very least he could try not manipulating the damn thing like a toy.
It also looks like at 1:15 that the shrimp doesn't have any hiding places. Not good.

You better be careful. Divers call them thumb-splitters for a reason.
If it just molted (probably did, looks pale) I wouldn't dare do that again. If not....I can't believe you tamed that thing.
Try giving it a platform to stand on with your hand rather than just holding it around its body - it'll feel less threatened and you should still be able to pick it up.
