Flagtail Shrimpgoby Amblyeleotris yanoi occurs in the tropical Western Pacific from Bali to the Ryukyu Islands in a depth range from 3-35m, max. length 13cm for the male, 5.5cm for the female. The species is associated with Alpheus randalli, the Red-banded Alpheid Shrimp. This species has many common names like Candy Pistol Shrimp, Red Banded Pistol Shrimp or Snapping Shrimp. These shrimps make a burrow under liverock, which will be shared with a goby typically from the Amblyeleotris or Stonogobiops genera in a symbiotic relationship. Because these shrimp have poor eye sight, the goby acts as a look out for predators while the shrimp provides a home for the goby; both also benefit in sharing food resources. These shrimps are carnivores. They also act as cleaner shrimp for the goby partner, as the photographer was able to observe. Triton Bay, Indonesia, 3°53'58.5456 S 134°6'26.28 E at 14m depth
