The Pistol shrimp is best know for the symbiotic relationship in which it shares with shrimp gobies. Goes especially well with Yasa Hase or Banded Shrimp Gobies. Will eat most any food. This shrimp is usually heard and rarely seen as the 'snapping' sound is the shrimps way of warding off any nosey trespassers into it's burrow. It makes this sound with a special appendage and can punch holes in crustacean exoskeletons. Most Invertebrates, including shrimp require very long and slow drip acclimation process of at least 2 hours as they cannot adjust quickly to even small changes in pH, temperature, alkalinity and other parameters. Like all shrimp, this species is intolerant of extreme nitrate levels (over 20) and cannot live in tanks that have had copper-based medications dispensed. The Randall's Pistol Shrimp is commonly collected from Indo-Pacific.
