Japanese Pistol pairing?

[nmotz]

I've been looking around for everything I can find on the Japanese pistol shrimp (Alpheus bisincisus) and haven't found much. Any evidence that this species pairs with gobies, or is it a loner like the Bullseye pistol? Anyone know anything about this species? Thanks!

Sealifebase says they are mostly free-living. That would make sense given that I have yet to see pics of one living with a goby.

Thanks for the response, seems like hardly anyone knows about this species. I assumed they were free living as well but saw a few posters from years ago that said they would pair with a goby.
