found my serial clicker

Was moving some rocks, because my zoanthids are getting eaten, and found TWO of these guys. Only managed to catch one, but there's baby shrimps along with them. I assume it's a pistol shrimp. Are they all reef safe? Do I have to keep hunting for what's eating my zoas?

From what i know a few pistol shrimp is reef safe. Last time i had something eating my zoas it was a nudibranch.

That looks like a mantis

That looks like a mantis

Definitely not a mantis. Some unknown species of pistol. The one I caught is the female. The one I left behind is the male. The female is berried so I placed her back in the tank. Something else must be eating my zoas.

I was also thinking zebra mantis but you can tell by its arms that it is a pistol. Jus

Just keep a eye out on your zoas. That was how i caught my nudi. The polyps were closed but i saw what look like tentacles(same color of my zoa arms) moving between the polyps. I heard nudis take color or what they eat. Maybe its not a nudi. Im interested to find out what the cause might be

A freshwater dip on those zoas might pull out your culprit.

I would toss the pistol back in. They aren't known for eating softies.
