Gold-specked Prawngoby

Found singly or in pairs, sharing their burrows with Alpheid shrimps, over rubble and sandy bottoms, of clear, coastal, inner reef flats and slopes.

Shrimp Gobies live a symbiotic relationship with snapping shrimps.
The Gobies stand guard while the shrimps play "housekeeper" to their burrow, continually digging and cleaning the sand. The Gobies will signal when predators are near.
