Randall's Shrimp Goby

Amblyeleotris randalli

Description:

Like most shrimp gobies, this fish lives in symbiosis with Partner Shrimps in the same hole. The Shrimps are blind and 'upkeep' their home while this Goby stays guard at the opening of the hole to warn the blind shrimps of any approaching danger.

Habitat:

Sandy and rubble bottom
