Tiger Pistol Shrimp

Tiger Pistol Shrimp is a fascinating and functional marine invertebrate known for its bold striping and powerful snapping claw. This shrimp forms a symbiotic relationship with certain gobies, sharing a burrow and relying on the fish for vision while providing protection. It is a favorite in reef aquariums for its unique behavior, burrow-building activity, and compatibility with peaceful tank mates.
