About 2 weeks ago my pistol shrimp started acting a little bit more lethargic and I assumed it was getting ready to molt. It is paired with a YWG. I have periodically used my syringe to shoot food in it's lair but have not seen much action from the shrimp (goby happily takes food of course), but I have spotted it in the lair.
Today I decided to move their rock and see what's going on. The shrimp scurried around a bit but seems to be having difficultly moving because it's claws do not look right (pistol arm looks like it's rotated and it can't really lift the claw)... Anyone ever see this before? Anything that would be recommended to aide it's recovery?
Btw I have a reefer 350 with 2 clowns, a damselfish, cardinal fish, and some snails. I have not seen anything bother the shrimp or goby before this episode.
