Goby / Pistol shrimp question

[Anonymous]

I have a pinkbar shrimp goby (cryptocentrus aurora I think) and I'd like to get a pistol shrimp. Is there a certain species of shrimp he will be more likely to pair up with, or will any old pistol shrimp do?
Thanks

Nope not all Alpheidae are symbiotic with gobies, some live with stony corals and others sponges. Off the top of my head I don't recall all the particular genera, I'll see if I can dig something up for you.

My pistol left my yellow watchman and moved in with some hairy shrooms. Still pretty cool.

The Tiger Pistol is a good choice IMO.
