Where can i get pistol shrimp? Is it reef safe? how much it cost? does pistol shrimp need deep sand bed?

Pls advise me, thanks

Hi bro

Check the weekly shipment forum (or ask there if any LFS has it in stock).

It is reef safe.

It will shift sand and rumbles to create burrow. It is quite interesting to see how it arrange rumbles as gate to its burrow. If sand is not thick enough for a burrow it may hide in rocks. Mine is on 5 - 7cm thickness of sand with some coral chips and it is good enough for it to arrange for its burrow.

Try to purchase pistol shrimp with a goby buddy pair for more interesting marine symbiotic life.

Price wise (shrimp alone) should be around 1 - 2 red notes ba.

oya , i got cleaner shrimp inside le, will pistol and cleaner fight?

Pistol will maintain its territory.

Cleaner is quite peaceful. It will avoid confrontation.

It should be okay for them in the same tank. I even have 3 pistols (different species) and 1 fire shrimp in the same tank. 1 pistol is a baby pistol (about 1.2cm) that came free, hiding in SPS that I bought from GO
