yes, Dr. Roy. he helped me with a proposed behavioral study on stomatopods and maze abilities, similar to mice and maze trials for a psychology class. very nice, and very well studied on his stomatopods. this is actually a video he made back in the 80s during a study on a mantis shrimps ability to figure out where food was in small plastic cubes. they had to break small glass panels on the different colored cubes to figure out which ones contained food....apparently they learned very quickly. and then something about one day he was walking by a store, saw that the rubik cube was the same size as the cubes in their trials, and made a short little video...which then was featured on some BBC program.
