Mikesilverado8888 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Can pistol shrimps get stuck under rocks. Haven't seen mine for a day the watchmen is doing fine going in and out of the whole the pistol shrimp made but no sign of the little guy lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mFrame Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I'd say probably not. If they burrowed under a rock that was only supported by sand then the answer could be yes, but you would probably see a shift in your rock work. Pistols are primarily nocturnal, the easiest way to tell is to wait for lights out and then listen for it "hunting". If it's alive and hunting food then you'll hear a distinct popping sound like someone snapping their fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sascha D. Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I had one for two years. I only saw him a handful of times after the first month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShawnKoto Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I only see mine when my goby is out to eat, and the pistol sits right behind him in their little den. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikesilverado8888 Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 Yes that the way it was but now not seeming home it's only been a day I'll let you guys know. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegrus Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Mine is always about day or night and has no qualms about straying far from his cave to carve a path through the substrate. Maybe try looking for his antennae if you haven't already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikesilverado8888 Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 Yes good idea. I have already done that. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegrus Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I would suspect it is more likely that he is busy somewhere else than having caused a cave in. Mine has been in my tank about a year and he has probably moved 60% or more of the substrate over that time. Busy as a beaver pistol shrimp!
