Pistol Shrimp?

[thefishofdoom]

i was woundering if any one had info on these guys i've done alot of reseach but i want to know from personal experince and stuff and i have a question. i put my pistol shrimp in today so far so good but every now and then he falls on his back and stays there is that normal? i dont want him to die on me. i think he might be molting but i dont know and i dont want to wake in the morning and find him dead or eaten.

 

this isnt my photo but its what pistol shrimp i have.

I have had a pistol shrimp for 6 months now and I have never seen him have any sort of behavior like you are describing. It sounds a bit odd to me. I guess just keep your fingers crossed.
