i finally saw him!!! now i know he isnt dead so thats good. there was a hermit crab that got very close to the hole and the pistol snapped 2 times and he ran away (kinda funny to see one run) then this little guy came out to inspect what was going on. mike

well i got some coral and a pistol shrimp and goby pair. i had a accident when i was dripping the pair and i had to put them in the tank after only 20 min of drip and i hope the goby is still alive i havent seen them in 3 days, but there is a hole where they have dug and i can hear the pistol...

i just got a hi fin red banded goby and a pistol shrimp. but as i was dripping them the bag spilled over so i had to put them in the tank fast. they were dripped for about 20 min before i had to quickly move them. i have gotten the water from that fish store so everything shouldnt be too far...
