Pistol Shrimp - What is it?

[hfp75]

What I have read you are very right.

Parasitic Epicaridea Isopod - Bobyridae (Bopyrid)

When it hatches - it doesnt sound like the next generation will survive (tank survival is not likely). Is that also the time when it is gone from my Pistol Shrimp? or will it continuously be there ? after hatching will it die off & go away or just do it again and again and again?

An interesting read.
