ID: mated pair of striped pistol shrimp

[StanD]

I found not one, but two 1" striped pistols under a zoa rock.....and one is carrying eggs! They were recently moved into a 24g curved glass Current Cardiff setup. Can anyone provide a positive ID?

I can't but they look sweet!

they are definitely pistol shrimps, and nice ones.

they look like the ones we eat! time to pair them up with some yashas..
