so I was given a pistol shrimp tonight unsure of species and not able to get a pic due to it feeling the my yellow head jawfishs home was the place for it, was kinda crazy, when i put the pistol in the tank the jawfish at first thought it was food since its so small its less than 1/2 " so she goes after it to eat it and it makes its lovely snapping noise so she fleas to her hole pistol shrimp following, pistol shrimp decided that her hole was nice and moved right in and at first she was confused like what is in my lovely hole I work so hard on each and everyday, but then she is completely cool with it, so my question is... is it possible for a pistole shrimp and a yellow head jawfish to have a comensal relationship?
any help would be great
thanks
found this pic on the net. not mine but my pistol looks similar to this one but not dark tips on claws
