Shrimp Goby, Suggestions?

[bluto]

I'm interested in getting one of the species of goby that forms a relationship with a shrimp (I believe a pistol srhimp). But I'd also like one that sifts sand and is fairly hardy (I'm new to this hobby). I see that someone else recently posted a similiar question, but without the shrimp aspect.
Any suggestions? Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks.

Yeah, LFS sell shrimp and gobie pairs. Wheeler's Shrimp Gobie is an excellent choice. The Yellow-spotted Watchman Gobie has been known to form a symbiotic relationship with the pistol shrimp. They are hardy and low priced.

Thanks. After I posted this question I just read a few other threads which suggest the pistol shrimp is kind of a pain in the a**. So now I'm rethinking the whole shrimp-goby pair idea.
