In the wild the goby sits at the entrance of the burrow and alerts the shrimp if their is any danger(most of the shrimps have bad eyesight), then the shrimp retreats down into the burrow followed by the goby

At the time I believe I paid about $18 for him. I think depending on the fish store you go to you might find varying prices. They sell anywhere from 14 - 25 depending on your LFS :)

Well, depending on the type of pistol shrimp. I would say that most goby pistols would easily pair up with a YWG but it may take some time. Could happen overnight OR it could take a couple weeks or months, depending on the size of your aquarium and how complex your rockwork is :) they make a very entertaining pair.

There are special Gobies that are well known to partner up with pistol shrimp. These gobies are classified as "Shrimp Gobies" if you google shrimp gobies you will likely get several species that do well with pistol shrimps :) YWG are the most popular and more commercially available.

The YWG is one of the few gobies that have been successfully bred in captivity, therefore making it readily available at most saltwater local fish stores. You can also find them online.
