What kind of pistol shrimp ?

[Idech]

I was told it’s a tiger pistol shrimp (alpheus bellulus) but I want to make sure as I’ve never had one and the images on the net are a little different.

Thanks !

Yea it’s a tiger. You could name him Tigger, yk for obvious reasons

I would but I don’t name my reef animals. It’s bad luck, lol !

Definitely a tiger
Do you have a goby for it?

I have a depressive yellow watchman goby that has given up on life. I got him a month ago and I tried everything I could but he did not perk up.

So this shrimp, after getting rid of the fish that bullied him, was bought especially for him. I will put up a video shortly in a separate post, I’m just waiting for it to upload on Youtube.

Here is the thread with the video if you’re curious : https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/are-they-ready-to-live-on-their-own-ywg-and-pistol-shrimp.953053/

Do you have a YouTube channel? I could swear I have seen that tang, cardinal, and the rock work in a video? Did you add a flame angel that didn’t work out?

I do have a Youtube channel but it’s private. You need a link to see my videos. I never had a flame angel.

Alright. The prof just reminded me of someone with the same fish/tank. No worries
