Has anyone ever heard of a purple firefish goby and a pistol shrimp pairing up? Mine seem to have during the day my firefish is out and swimming but since I got a pistol shrimp yesterday he has moved from his home to the hole the pistol shrimp dug and they spend the nights together. Is this odd to anyone else?

My purple firefish dug a hole and doesn't come out except to eat. I can believe it'd share a den with a shrimp.

Sure, why not?

Firefish need good places to hide and the more hiding places there are, the more they will remain out in midwater for us to see. It has to do with being able to quickly slip into protective places from different areas of the tank. I find that a field of large rubble rock and/or a good stand of Caulerpa makes for more and better hiding places.
