Found this little guy. About 1.5 inches long. Is he reef safe?

I'm sorry I posted this on the wrong sub forum. If the mods could please place this thread in the correct sub I greatly appreciate it.

Thanks

some type of pistol, they won't eat corals but if any are lower down they will grab things within reach to build with. I'm sure someone can give you a exact ID on him

Thanks. I think I found the same one on live aquaria as a snapping shrimp.

Snapping shrimp/pistol shrimp, depending on where you got the live rock from, he could be a fun little guy to watch if he is one of the ones that pairs up. i have a yellow pistol with my pink watch man, and a randalls pistol with my high fin, some of the most fun i watch in the tank.
