Randalli Goby Batfish

Randalli Goby BatfishRandall's Goby is known from clearwater reefs and can be found where there are large expanses of carbonate sand, at depths between to 25 50 metres (82 164 ft). As with other members of the same genus, this goby forms a symbiotic partnership with an almost blind alpheid shrimp; together they share the safety of a burrow which the shrimp digs maintains, and the goby keeps watch for predators. Whilst the shrimp is working, it maintains antennal contact
