Pistol?

Am pretty certain I have a pistol shrimp in tank.

Have never seen it, but do hear popping or snapping from tank now and then esp. at night, when fans off and can be easier heard.

Other indicator is that I have to replace skunk cleaner shrimp couple times a year after their disappearing.

Just lost another.

pull out the liv rock and see if you can see it or stick something in a the holes of the live rock.

 

Ok, what is wrong with a pistol shrimp? I just ordered one to live with my goby since her mate jumped to his death. Will I regret this?

 

I like my cleaner shrimp. Just would prefer not to have in tank.

That's for sure Omard. I'm partial to my cleaner shrimp too...

Ok, NOW, I'm MAD! No where in my research did I ever see anything about the pistol shrimp eating cleaner shrimp. Everything, I saw was about the symbolic relationship it maintains with the goby fish. I figured since I would probably never find her another mate, I would just get this shrimp. Ergghh! I hope Jacques will be ok.

 

Don't be mad. Way too much info out there to find on own. Post question before buying anything here on 3Reef. Members here have pretty much seen it all.

Jacques will be fine.

 

Hope everything works out. Keep us posted..
