In my 125 gal reef meet little trump (he likes to build walls) the tiger pistol shrimp and his companion the blue spotted watchman goby!!

Mine shot me once, felt like a shock from a power outlet.. they are cool, they're like little snow plows.. lol

 

[ZeroShadez]

I love how they plow the sand around so fun to watch

 

[anon9896]

Yeah until they take you frags and bring them under the reef

 

[Katrina71]

We love ours too! I like hearing the snap from time to time.

 

[anon9896]

I love it too , its a love/hate relationship ...
Same with the watchman goby ...

If you have a pistol shrimp you do need to be aware they will take anything off the sand that they are able to. So if you put a frag on the sand glue it to a tile. No problem.

 

[ZeroShadez]

Yup good advice

 

[anon9896]

Oh mine ends up breaking the glue off , it moved a 6 x 6 inch rock 2in thick across the tank.
Its like the shrimpminator.
Also it takes sand and covers the frags with it.

Found that out.
Mine has been good but other day moved egg crate with small gold torch, Rasta zoa’s frag about 10” before it got hung up on the rocks. He is getting crafty with no more snails to build with because goby goes and brings them back for building blocks
