🔍 Description:
The Candy Stripe Pistol Shrimp is a vibrant, smaller cousin of the Tiger Pistol, known for its bright red and white banded coloration and stunning contrast. It’s a burrowing shrimp that forms tight symbiotic bonds with shrimp gobies, sharing a home and working as a team: the shrimp digs and maintains the burrow while the goby watches for predators.

These pistol shrimp are shy but active, constantly shifting sand and reinforcing their burrow. They occasionally make a soft snap sound using their signature claw — used for communication, not aggression.
