What's your favorite shrimp goby?

Looking in to getting a pistol shrimp and a goby to pair up. Any suggestions?

I currently have a Tangaroa Goby. He's not large like a watchman, but is very interesting. He has a swim bladder so he can free swim if he'd like but he scoots more. He defends the entrance to his shared burrow from every thing.

For my next build I will though get another type of shrimp goby. Don't know which yet, but I hope to read more from local reefers and get ideas too.

So good thread!

I love my Yasha... super personality in a little goby. Occasionally he spends a few weeks with my pistol shrimp, and then there's a break up and he moves out for a few weeks... then back and forth... very cool fish, sorry for the rambling

I am partial to Randells shrimp goby.

I have a Tangaroa Goby as well and love it. I have him with multiple pairs of pistols in my tank.

I have a Randell's, Orange spot, and and Stienz's Goby all in the same tank, and the Randell's bonded with the pistol after a few months.... Now the Randell's just defends the shrimp and is not very social.... The Orange spot is out often on top of the rocks, and the Stienz's just picks fights with the others... All mock displays... He was the first in the tank... I choose the Randell's as my favorite...
