Description

The Tiger Pistol Shrimp gets its name from the patterns on its body. 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.

Diet

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