Common name: Shrimp Goby

Amblyeleotris is a genus of gobies often referred to as Shrimp Gobies due to their unique symbiotic relationship with pistol shrimps. These gobies share burrows with the shrimps, maintaining a lookout for predators while the shrimp maintains the burrow. They are popular in the reefkeeping hobby for their interesting behavior and variety of colors. They require a sandy substrate to mimic their natural environment and are generally peaceful, making them suitable for community tanks. Observing the partnership between shrimp gobies and their crustacean counterparts can be a fascinating aspect of a well-established reef aquarium.
