Is this normal CBS behavior?

My coral banded shrimp seems to have built himself what I think is a nest in the corner of the tank. I've noticed a pile of empty shells and such building up in one corner of the tank. I've removed the pile once, but in the morning everything seems to be back in the same place again. Has anyone ever seen this before? I know the picture isn't the greatest, but you can see him and his pile of junk.

You have a hoarder. :lol:

Not sure about the behavior. I've never kept a CBS.

I'd name him Lamont and play the sanford and son them song if my kid didn't already name him harold. He just stands there all day next to his pile of junk. I'm just wondering if it's going to lead to him getting real territorial about the stash of goodness he's acquired. There was even a piece of aquamend he somehow managed to acquire off of a rock.

I personally never heard of this behavior. I've kept one and it never did this.

Too funny! Terrorial displays should be watched now that you mentioned it.

i think it's time for an intervention.
