My snails do this for fun. My hermit crabs do this too when they are running across the bottom of the tank close to the glass.

If you start to notice shells piling up in a certain area of your tank it would likely be a pistol shrimp. They like to collect building materials for their burrows. However, you have an orange spot goby which I believe could be symbiotic with pistols. So if you haven't actually seen the shrimp with the goby, you might not have one. Perhaps the snails theory is more sound.
