This shrimp goby gives protection to the two blind shrimp that work all day at keeping his hole clear.

---

These two pistol shrimp are blind so they need the goby to alert them when predators are near. For this help, the shrimp spend the day excavating the goby's home and keeping it clear of sand and rubble.
