    Yes, I said shrimps!

    After trying with no success to catch it using the inverted bottle trap, I ended up having to remove my rocks. And while doing so, I found that I not only had 1, but 4 Pistol Shrimps that somehow hitchhiked on the live rock I put in a few months ago.

    And after about 2 hours of hard work, my sand now has no burrow holes, tank is much quieter, and love the new look of my rock scape. I am now please with my tank. For now.... ;D

    Can't tell what kind they are, maybe tigers? You should bring them to you LFS and try to get some credit for them.

    Yeah, they look like tiger pistols. And I was thinking about taking them to the lfs but I found them dead this morning. I think the container I put them in just wasnt big enough for the 4 of them to get along.
