I was curious if anyone has ran into this. Within the past 2 days, my pistol shrimp has consistently made its snapping noise almost every few minutes. Sometimes it would send multiple snaps up to 6-7 in a row. He hasn’t always been like this so I’m not sure what’s changed.
 
Interesting.. no inverts even? usually its for deterring predators out of their territory or for hunting purposes..
it’s been with snails and a hermit the past couple of months.

As odd as it may be, could it be mourning/looking for its goby? I just found that the goby jumped.
