Description

The Candy Stripe Pistol Shrimp is one of the brightest of the pistol shrimps. The most fascinating thing about this animal is the symbiotic relationship it shares with watchman/shrimp gobies. Their name comes from the loud cracking noise made by their large claw.

Some prefer live foods like small snails while others will eat small meaty bits of food.
