Diver's Notes

A very interesting symbiosis between a fish and a crustacean: the shortsighted shrimp maintains a burrow in the sand where both animals live. ... The watchman Goby and shrimp keep in contact with each other, the shrimp using its antennae, and the Goby flicking the shrimp with its tail when alarmed.
