The Spotted Shrimpgoby Amblyeleotris guttata lives in a symbionic partnership with a Snapping Shrimp Alpheus ochrostriatus:

Whide-Barred Shrimpgoby (Amplyeleotris latifasciata) and Snapping (often know as pistol) shrimps (Alpheus sp.). These two species have a symbiotic relationship, sharing the same burrow. The shrimps keep it clean and, being semi blind, trust on the goby’s tail movements as a warning against predators. Underwater macro photography taken in Lembeh, Manado - Indonesia.

Randall's Shrimpgoby Amblyeleotris randalli occurs in the Western Pacific in a depth range from usually 25-50m on patches of carbonate sand of clear water reefs, usually in rubble caves with a Snapping Shrimp, this specimen with two of them, max. length 12cm.

In the image, a Gold-barred Shrimp Goby (Amblyeleotris randalli) is seen resting at the entrance of its burrow. The fish has a slender body with yellow and black stripes, and its distinctive gold bar gives it its name. The burrow is shared with a snapping shrimp, with whom the fish has a symbiotic relationship. The shrimp provides protection and maintenance of the burrow, while the fish acts as a lookout for potential threats.

Redmargin Shrimpgoby Amblyeleotris rubrimarginata occurs in the tropical Western Pacific from New Caledonia to the Great Barrier Reef and around New Guinea, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines on sandy bottoms of coastal bays and estuaries in a depth range from 2-20m, max. length 11cm. Alpheus sp. shrimps make a burrow under liverock, which will be shared with a goby typically from the Amblyeleotris genera in a symbiotic relationship. Because these shrimp have poor eye sight, the goby acts as a look out for predators while the shrimp provides a home for the goby; both also benefit in sharing food resources. These shrimps are carnivores. They also act as cleaner shrimp for the goby partner. Triton Bay, West Papua Province, Indonesia, 3°54'41.0503 S 134°7'18.2052 E at 15m depth

The Diagonal Shrimp-Goby is a species of marine fish commonly found in sandy bottoms of coral reefs in the tropical and subtropical Indo-Pacific. This species is known for its symbiotic relationship with a pistol shrimp, which shares its burrow with the shrimp-goby. The shrimp-goby will alert the pistol shrimp of potential threats while the pistol shrimp provides protection and maintenance of the shared burrow. The Diagonal Shrimp-Goby has a distinctive diagonal stripe pattern that allows it to blend in with its sandy surroundings and avoid detection by predators. They are also popular in the marine aquarium trade as ornamental fish. Conservation efforts are necessary to ensure the preservation of this species and the overall health of coral reef ecosystems.

Gobiidae is a family of bony fish in the order Gobiiformes, one of the largest fish families comprising more than 2,000 species in more than 200 genera, sometimes referred to as the "true gobies". Most of them are relatively small, typically less than 10 cm in length.

One of the most remarkable aspects of the Shrimpgoby Tomiyamichthys oni is its symbiotic association with a specific species of shrimp. These two organisms engage in a mutually beneficial relationship where the goby provides protection to the shrimp, while the shrimp, in turn, constructs and maintains a burrow that they both share. This remarkable adaptation allows the Shrimpgoby Tomiyamichthys oni to safely inhabit the sandy bottoms of coral reefs and create a harmonious partnership with its shrimp counterpart. It is a testament to the intricate web of relationships found within the diverse marine ecosystems and showcases the fascinating coexistence of species in the underwater realm.
