Some snapping shrimp species share burrows with goby fish in a mutualistic symbiotic relationship. The burrow is built and tended by the pistol shrimp, and the goby provides protection by watching out for danger. When both are out of the burrow, the shrimp maintains contact with the goby using its antennae.
The tiger pistol shrimp lives in burrows in symbiosis with certain goby species such as Cryptocentrus cinctus, Amblyeleotris guttata or Stonogobiops yasha. The shrimp digs and maintains the burrows which are the dens for both animals, while the goby acts as a watchman, warning of danger the shrimp cannot see due to poor eyesight. [8]
Tomiyamichthys elliotensis, commonly known as the Lady Elliot shrimp goby, is a species of small, symbiotic shrimpgoby from the Great Barrier Reef, specifically Lady Elliot Island in Queensland, Australia. This species was described in 2023 by Gerald R. Allen, Mark V. Erdmann, and Chris L. Dudgeon.
They should ideally be kept with pistol shrimp. Also known as the sulphur goby and yellow prawn goby; the scientific name cryptocentrus cinctus. Maximum length: 4 inches
The shrimp is mainly a detritus feeder. The shrimp has poor sight and is alert to the actions of the goby. The shrimp is more vulnerable to predation and is quick to retreat to safety even when the danger level is low. If the fish swims into the burrow head first to escape more immediate danger, the shrimp darts in immediately.
