S**T!! My pistol shrimp just took out my blood shrimp! I heard 3 loud, consecutive clicks and saw the blood shrimp being dragged into the pistol's tunnel. The blood shrimp was still struggling but could not break free. That's it! First the incessive digging that has me fearing of a rock slide and now this! Any traps out there I could use to pull the bugger out?

Try this one, it works for crabs sometimes:
Take a plastic water bottle, cut the top off just below the 'shoulder' where it begins to curve into the neck. Take the top portion and turn it around so the neck is facing into the bottle like a funnel. Now bait the trap with something the pistol can't resist. Place the trap outside his home and wait. Hopefully he'll climb in for the goodies and won't be able to climb back out.
I'd love to give him a home if you'd like to send him to me (I'll pay shipping) :D
