Does that sound like a pistol to any of you more experienced guru's out there?
Sound is the key Greg, unfortunately they mostly use their pistol claw for defense or hunting so a happy pistol is a quiet pistol. Another thing to look for is little piles of sand around the base of your rocks from its digging. Watching these is the only way I can tell if mine is still alive. Sometimes I'll see puffs of sand flow up from beside the rockwork, thats where the pistol has been working.

Do you have a watchman goby?

Speaking of evasive creatures, I saw my Olive snail today for the 3rd time in as many months!
