En savoir plus

The Alpheus randalli, also nicknamed the "pistol shrimp," owes its name to its hunting method. Indeed, to capture its prey, it creates a bubble with its claws which, upon detonation, kills its prey. Its white body is covered with large orange spots and measures up to 5 cm. Living in pairs or alone, it exhibits territorial behavior but is not particularly aggressive. Therefore, it becomes virulent only when an intruder disturbs its burrow, but does not attack in any other case. It is worth noting that the Alpheus randalli maintains very good relationships with gobies.

 

Common name: Randall's pistol shrimp. With a snap of its claw, this shrimp can send a ring of sediment towards its adversary, hence the name pistol shrimp. This shrimp lives in rocks or sand and can live in symbiosis with gobies such as Stonogobiops dracula, Stonogobiops nematodes, Stonogobiops xanthorhinica, and Stonogobiops yasha.
