9900C? Hmmmm this must be some extremely small level of "temperature" change, since that would vaporize the surrounding water instantly and you'd see bubbles as a result.

i think they shoot sound waves only or jets of water due to the snapping motion not intense heat like they say in the video.. but hey, I'm no scientist just a regular joe reefer...

I guess it just shows that not all Pistol shrimps are reefsafe:lol:

and to think that I have several of them in my tank..

 

[jellygeee]

wow, now I know why they called it Pistol shrimp =P

delsol650: Do you pistol shrimps attack other members of your tank?

 

[650-IS350]

Nah,.. just pop off a lot during night time...to scare fish away from there burrows trying to hide at night

 

[Nuuze]

Cool! All this time I thought I had a mintis shrimp lurking somewhere. It was my pistol shrimp all along.

If it was a mantis and the noise been going for a while.... you would have seen em' by now....

They gotta rename that shrimp to the Hadoken Shrimp

No wonder cleaners are so darn expensive.. All the pistols are taking them out.

There was an article some time back that basically said that pistol shrimp can wreak as much havok as a mantis shrimp.. I don't know how valid that statement is, but we have always been of the mind that neither were good to have in a reef tank.

That was a show about what animals might 'evolve' to in the future, notice it was filmed in a flooded house. hehe great video anyway

I love how the end of the video shows the pistol shrimp dragging the cleaner shrimp into its hiding spot. Hilarious!
