Yup it's a pistol. No, he can't break glass. I would pop him right on in the tank. I had one for years I never saw, but only heard.

Mine sounded like a glass heater hitting off the side of the glass tank. He would start to snap a lot during feeding time. I enjoyed knowing he was in there.

I have pistols in two of my tanks and they are a fun addition to your reef!

No worries about cracking glass, but they dig and burrow in the sand under your Aquascape so make sure your structure is stable.
