    My pistol shrimp thinks hes a wise guy. He comes out from his giant hole, and uses his snapping claw to break the rock on the outside and then brings the pieces inside. What a guy.

    You better lines your tank with some thick acrylic on the inside before he breaks your walls.

    BTW you do know what it's doing, right? You know that this is a breeding sign and you probably lucked out and got one of those A-Sexual ones. Keep an eye out for the eggs in a couple days.
