Hi all, I have just added a tiger pistol shrimp to my tank along with a yellow watchman goby
When I added the pistol he landed on a rock and went into a hole facefirst with his tail popping out.
After about 10 minutes of me watching the shrimp, the royal gramma swam over. I thought he was just inspecting his new tank mate. Then to my surprise he went for the pistol shrimp, picked him up at his tail and carried him over to his cave where he bit off the tail off the pistol shrimp which then escaped.
I was horrified this happened. And want to find out 1,will the shrimp survive and 2, will the tail grow back?
I think in hindsight I should of fed the tank before adding new addition.
I am quite new to the hobby and have had my tank since November 2020
Any advice on this would be great thanks.
