is a serious goby fanatic
I have always heard that shrimp called a Randall's pistol shrimp. I didn't even realize the Drs were calling it a "red banded shrimp".
I have had that shrimp for years...years and years. He's been with me since about 1999, so like 7 years. I have had him in 3 different tanks as my system has been upgraded and today he goes into the 240g. I hope it will be like the ocean to him.
But for those of you considering getting a pair like this...please don't pair your shrimp with a yellow watchman goby. The Randall's shrimp naturally pairs with those high fin red banded gobies (black stripes with yellow face) and also with the yasha hashe gobies. The pair I have here is not a natural pairing and eventually this fish left its shrimp. So just think about pairing a Randall's with either red banded or yasha hashe gobies. The yellow watchman pairs very very nicely with a tiger pistol shrimp (and the tigers are bigger and therefore more noticable).
I have a neat picture of a serpent star too. I have had this guy for about 7 years as well.

EvilMel, I wish I had heard your story a few weeks ago. I added a Randall's pistol to my 75 w/ a pair of yellow watchman's. The male came from the back of his cave and proceeded to whallop the shrimp to it's death. He grabbed him,slammed him on the rocks a couple times, then spit him out.
I put another in my nano and he is the coolest..he has a little network of tunnels he has built under the rocks and every day he comes to get a piece of food from my hand. I felt so bad for the first shrimp...guess you can't add a pistol to an established pair.
I agree the redhead goby is adorable.
