Your pistol shrimp needs a "buddy"!;Happy. Not sure if you hadn't noticed, I think it walks better backward than forward...at least mine looks like it does.

those mushrooms and zoas are the hardest to glue for sure. looking good.

Yea, seems like most shrimp swim backwards when they want to go fast. My freshwater shrimp do the same thing as well. Although thinking about it my cleaner shrimp likes to pedal his little feet to get around in the air. Granted if I poke at him or something he too will swim backwards really fast to get away.

And yea talk about a really high stress level gluing those rics...I am just glad they are looking happy now in the spot they are. I plan to take some more pictures once the Nanobox Tide Plus M arrives. It will allow me to have some blues as well not just 100% whites like it currently is. And should allow for a little bit more color of the corals.
