Oh, that makes sense. I missed the sounds at the beginning, I wasn't fast enough turning on my speakers.

I had one and it sounds like a ping pong ball bouncing off the tank glass.

This the footage I saw which made me change my mind about ever getting a pistol shrimp... I don't want to chance it.

Yeah mine died (I think) becuase I haven't heard any sounds on months. I lost a fire fish because of that shrimp. I seen it one day and it looked like it was beat up then it was gone. My other fire fish took the same beating but it outlived the shrimp. Never again!!!!
