    well guys i have found another hitch hiker.after 2 weeks of clickin' in my tank today at about 10:45 when i was feeding my sun polyps i caught a glimpse of what i beleive to be a tiger pistol shrimp...i read up on the tank cliking and i thought it might have been the dreaded critter killer mantis shrimp...wish i could have had enough time to grab my camera but the little guy rushed back inside its little cave before i could grab my camera...i dont know if i should keep it or not ....i know they are reef safe but do i need to buy a watchman goby?(randall's goby) any input would help!:-/

    You do not need to buy a goby but watching the relationship between fish and shrimp can be very cool. :)

    Ya no need for a goby. You will want to watch what other shrimp you put in your tank. It can (not in my experience) hunt other shrimp at night.
