Catching them takes time and patience.

Took me a while before i perfected my technique

of catching them. Can't keep too many in a tank.

Tend to fight each other. :erm:

How many in your tank? I know a reefer whom have 4 to 5pcs in his 3' tank.

slcw,

Snapping shrimp or piston shrimp also can lah.

Its just common name for them.

Pictured in original post is the Alpheus Synalpheus.

I also have pics of the larger Alpheus Microrhynchus but

they aren't as colourful.

See for yourself. They have 1 bigger clicker claw that is flat.

neokn,

I don't keep them anymore.

My 1.5ft temp tank for stuff i catch from beach used to have about 5 max.

They fight till left 1 and even the King lost a limb.

csloo,

Its their nature. They usually share their burrow with gobies.

The gobies are their sentry. Seems that gobies have better eyesight.

Dazza,

I have never seen a black piston shimp b4.

If i see any, I'll catch it to take photos.

After my photo session, i'll pass to you loh.

Thanks for the replies ! :)
