Description:
|
The Pistol Shrimp, a.k.a. Snapping Shrimp, comes in a number of different colors, but is usually colored in red or pink. They do very well in the home aquarium, but are often mistaken for Mantis Shrimp, because of their claw snapping ability. The Pistol Shrimp has one claw bigger than the other, which it pulls back and then snaps together at lighting speed producing a loud sound. In nature, this sound is used to stun its prey. These shrimp are peaceful towards other aquarium inhabitants and can be fed flake or meaty substances. The Pistol Shrimp may also take on a symbiotic relationship with many Goby species. They prefer lots of rockwork to hide and a sandbed in order to dig.
