Those Amazing Shrimp-gobies!

A Randall's shrimp goby and a snapping shrimp find mutual benefit in their relationship.

The coral reefs of the world are characterized by a long and relatively stable history. This environmental stability has facilitated the development of complex interactions between certain fishes and invertebrates. The most familiar of these associations occurs between anemones and anemone fishes, but even more spectacular is the partnership that exists between certain gobies and snapping shrimp of the genus Alpheus.

In this CoralRealm feature article we explore the relationship between gobies and their snapping shrimp companions.
