    Default Alot of popping, pistol shrimp?

    Can pistol shrimp pop like a revolver? When my lights are off, I hear popping. Alot of popping. It's fast, which leads to my question. Can pistol shrimp "fire" in rapid succession?

    Very cool video. When I had one it would get alittle crazy trying to get my giant cleaner shrimp. Sometimes you could hear it every few seconds.

    Do you have clowns? My female tomato pops her jaw, the web says they like to Do it as it stretches their ligaments in their jaw

    I thought pistols popped once or twice. If you hear them in more succession I read to look for mantis.

    Maybe you have an automatic pistol shrimp? jk

    when i heard constant clicking it ended up being a mantis. I put some brine in there one day and he shot out the rock and shot right back in.
