Got the shrimp too... I got the watchman from Matt, he broke down his tank yesterday. It was either now or never.

Get a cheap shrimp and video the pistol. I want to see that thing in action.

I love gobies

Apparently the make a popping noise

[Darbex]

Its probably him firing his pistol.

Thats how he murders shrimps. It fires its pistol (the giant claw) and the shock waves stuns any shrimp in its line of fire. Then it goes up to them and starts eating it.

I am thinking about setting up a tank just for a goby and pistol shrimp lol

Besides my puffer they were my favorite fish. It was funny seeing the watchman keep an eye out while the shrimp is taking load after load of sand out of a burrow. So industrious!
