So about a week ago I added a tiger pistol shrimp to my tank and then I had realized that the wood on the stand my tank was on was starting to give out , I then built a new stand and swapped my tank over to the new stand well after returning the water to the tank I realized that I had caved in my goby and pistol shrimps burrow and in a panic I lifted up the rock they were under to set them free… while doing so the epoxy in my aquascape gave out so I had to re putty it, I noticed the pistol shrimp go under a rock before I put everything back together so I was very careful but I’m still worried I may have possibly crushed him as I haven’t seen no signs of him in over a week now, I added a ywg the other day and the poor lil guy just hides under the side of a rock, like I said it’s been a little over a week and I haven’t seen any sand movement, no burrows/new burrows and I have been going out to the tank a couple hours after the lights turn off every night to try to listen for him but have not heard anything so at this point I’m unsure if it would cause more harm to try to lift the rock up once again to try to confirm if I crushed him or not any advice would be greatly appreciated
