Aurora Pink Bar Shrimp Goby (Amblyeleotris aurora)

Another shrimp goby running the reef's classic co-op: a pistol shrimp with poor eyesight and a serious digging habit teams up with a goby that has neither problem. Distinguished by the soft pink barring down its flanks, this one spends its day hovering at the burrow mouth, backing in tail-first the instant anything looks threatening.
