Are the maxilipeds used to grab the crab while she punches and stab them to death?

Hello Fans I am still alive I need to set something straight as I know some of you are worried/frustrated with my channel.
Firstly, I will state that I am obviously still alive (no mantis got me yet!) and yes my channel is still very much active irregardless of what it appears.
So what's been happening?
I've had to make new plans and abandon my overseas mantis shrimp ventures not because of funding or anything like that but because it turned into a nightmare that I certainly did not foresee prior to setting up overseas (I knew there was going to be difficulties but nothing on the level of 'discrimination' that I endured)...
The overseas part of what I do was meant to go for a few more years but I grew tired of spending half of my 6months overseas on each trip, repairing, rebuilding the mantis shrimp system and I kept finding that by the time it was all up and running I'd only have 1-2months left of each 6month trip to actually photo/film mantis shrimp in the tanks...
I wasn't meant to come 'home' until I achieved a certain 'level' overseas but due to the difficulties I have been forced to cut my losses short and return 'home' now this does NOT mean it's all over and I've given up...far from it.
The overseas part of what I'm doing was exactly that, an inevitable 'part' that was to be overcome and then 'finished' so that I can return 'home' and continue, the return 'home' signified my largest, most expensive, state of the art, insane mantis shrimp system that was to be built in a few years time except due to the Overseas failure my hand has been forced to move forward faster and thus...
I have begun building here at 'home' my biggest and greatest mantis shrimp aquarium system to date, sparing no expense and utilizing only the best equipment that you generally don't find in aquarium stores due to their price (due to their quality) but far more than the aquarium system alone is the Digital Studio built into the room designed professionally and specifcally for the professional filming and photography of mantis shrimp!
I hope to have it all finished/built with water running and mantis hunting by the Feb-Mar next year, it is a monstrous build that encompasses so much more than a mere fish tank...
What this new aquarium studio will allow for me is to finally create videos daily/hourly for uploading with minimal downtime which is it what we all really want and on top of the sheer quantity, the quality will be only the best, I've invested far more into the studio than into the aquarium itself, because I utterly REFUSE to use cheap nasty cameras like mobile phones etc. the amount I've spent and continue to spend on the studio alone just to make the best footage for YOU!... :D
It's ALLLLL for you guys LOL there is no catch 22!
Your patience...
Your dedication...
Your understanding...
Means the world to me and once I'm up and photographing/filming again I will reward you with sights and sounds of stomatopods that you have yet to ever SEE BEFORE!
