Randall’s pistol shrimp — size comparison — facts and sources

Randall’s pistol shrimp has a transparent cream body with red bands and strongly unequal claws. It builds sandy-bottom burrows shared with gobies.

Rapid closure of the large claw generates a water jet and cavitation bubble. Bubble collapse produces the characteristic snap. It eats small animal food and bottom remains.
