Hey I hope all of yall are enjoying your weekend I got a pistol shrimp and a watchman goby yesterday and I haven’t seen the pistol shrimp come out once how long did it take you guys to see yours I saw my goby this morning when I fed brine shrimp but only for a second.
 
The shrimps do most of their heavy lifting (excavating) at night. Hopefully, you have an appropriate sand bed and LR for the pair.
 
My pistol shrimp took about a week to see him but I know where he hides he took a small hole/cave in my rock and made it his home. It took me a couple of days to see my gobie.
