Shrimp goby and shrimp - Lotilia graciliosa and Alpheus

This small shrimp goby fish rarely stays out of its burrow long enough for a photo but happened to be in a protected cave with a side opening that was perfect for taking photos and not being seen. The little goby, Lotilia graciliosa, not much more than 20mm in length, was symbiotic with a much larger black and white shrimp who kept busy excavating their shared burrow.
