I cant believe I'm even considering this, but will a "candy pistol shrimp" be reef safe? I had a hitch hiker pistol that got about 1.5"es and killed other shrimp and maybe small fish.

The only reason I ask is I have two Yasha Gobies that seem to have paired up and they would look some nice with a small red shrimp if that shrimp didn't cause chaos in my reef. What do you guys think?

Mine is safe! check my thread for a picture of him. I've seen him try to shoot things but he doesn't actually hurt anything. basically once they pair up with a yash they never stop digging holes. If you like to keep small frags on your sandbed he might bury them. one shrimp will pair up with a M+F pair of yashas
