Are these pistols reef safe?

[Obsessed]

Came in on some KP Aquatics rock and want to add them to my tank just wanted to be sure no issues adding them to my display.

I have a pair of yasha gobies would love to see pair up.

I’ve never heard of a pistol Shrimp not being reef safe. I vote you get him a goby partner!

no expert, but why wouldn't they be? don't pistols just scavage and kill the occasional crab/shrimp/snail that gets to close? I have one a pistol in my tank, i see him briefly about once a year.. i hear him most nights.

No guns are not safe around aquariums.

jk yea pistol shrimps are nearly blind scavengers, as such they have a symbolic relationship with some gobies and rely on them for protection. Anyways, yes they are reef safe.
