Shrimp hiding in Rock

[Chonch1224]

Hello. I was adding pods to my tank tonight. Turned off the pumps and such. Added all my pods and some phyto. Using a red light was checking out the tank and noticed this little guy in my rock.

Looks like a shrimp of some kind. The 4 sexy shrimp, cleaner shrimp and fire shrimp are only ones I've added and are accounted for.

Anyone have an idea, sorry for the difficult to see video. Was best I could do before be bolted back into tbe rocks

All Rock I've added was dry rock to start. All coral and such are all inspected and dipped. No idea how he got in here. Not made he is cool little dude haha

Thank you

Have you been hearing any popping noises? Looks a bit like a pistol shrimp.

I have a large tiger pistol shrimp that is paired with my yellow goby. He is much bigger and lives in another cave. He makes some serious pop noises haha

Looks like a pistol shrimp to me. They are reef safe and most species will pair up with a goby. They might turn over corals that are left on the sandbed so make sure you have a frag rack for new coral.
