pistol shrimp

[shanekennedy]

do anyone's pistol shrimp dig. i've read lots of stories about digging shrimp & goby relationships, but my 3 pistols always stay in the rock. i recently ordered a randall pistol shrimp along w/ some gobies. he started digging the moment i put him in the tank. he quickly built a little cavern in the front corner of the tank. this guy is way cool to watch. the gobies are still in the qt tank. can't wait to see if they pair up. wish my other pistols would dig some tunnels.

All the pistols that came with my TBS rock dig constantly. They're pretty secretive so it's hard to tell how many there are, but I'd guess I've got at least six of them and they all dig under the rocks.

Theyre funny... they hav a very organzed hierarchy..... my friend got about 8 in his liverock and got them out now they r in theyre own tank........the big puplish one is king of the rock and will click off any invaders

I have two very large pistols that dig like crazy. they have dark bodies with a white strip, blue legs and orange claws. they have a very loud pop. pop claw looks like Popeye's arm

the rest atleast 20 of them just hide in the rocks and never dig
have a greenish color, all are under 1 inch
