As much and as bad as I wanted a tiger pistol shrimp, this thing has burrows everywhere in my tank and kicking up sand and detritus. Started as a typical type burrow in one corner, then it moved to the next, then the middle of the tank which is where it is most of the time. Walk into the room today to feed the tank, and see this!

You're killing me smalls!

 
Yup. I am stuck with one as well. Kicks up sand constantly. But getting it out of the tank would be near impossible and I like it too much…. Just a part of having them I guess.
Almost as annoying as my urchin that constantly carries frags on its back.

Yeah, I've never had an urchin, but the sand it kicks around is crazy. I can never keep my glass clean. I'll scrape it one day, the next night, it's dirty again. I love watching it work though!
