Blind shrimp

[mission man]

Does anyone have a Blind Shrimp. I think its neat how the blind shrimp and a goby look out for each other. Are blind shrimp common? How would you introduce the pair into the tank? Im really curious about this any input is welcome. Thanks.

I know a pistol shrimp and a goby are symbiotic. This is the shrimp you're reffering to. The can also have a symbiotic relationship with corals, anemones, and even sponges.

Hi MM

Just as an FYI the shrimp aren't blind, they just have much poorer vision than the gobies.

Every goby on this page is a shrimp goby if that helps.
