Hi All,

Just got the two on Friday. They were MIA for a day then popped up out of the sand. Thanks!

I second Randall's Goby but also want to know what kind of shrimp.

Nuuze, I am currently looking to pair up my candy cane goby with a pistol shrimp and was wondering if you purchased as pair or seaprately. Either way did you get them online or locally?

BTW, nice goby I like the randall's... a local shop had a couple but went home to do research and when I arrived the next day they were already sold.

I bought them as a pair at a LFS locally.

Nice, I have seen both gobies and pistol shrimp locally but none have been paired up.

Amblyeleotris randalli, no clue as to the identity of your Alpheid shrimp.
