The sand I got caribsea pink fiji. I really want a pistol shrimp but this sand LOOKS too fine! It's created little mini sand storms in my tank, I haven't yet got a wavemakers. sand would you recommend?? Perfect for pistol shrimps

They will make it work. I have crushed coral and the goby will come out and hunt down empty shells for the shrimp. Keep some extra shells around and the shrimp will use them as supports.

Thank you, it did work. The pistol shrimp and Goby are forever digging several tunnels a day

cheers! enjoy, I find it very fascinating to watch them front time to time, there’s a new tunnel/entrance every time
Yes... watching them eat together too is even more fun. I've only got them currently in my tank and it's quite comical watching th pistol trying to catch the food
