Yellow Clown Goby/Shrimp Pairing

[gmusick]

Hello all,
I have a small yellow clown goby in my tank and would like to pair him up with a type of pistol shrimp. I have heard that not just any species of pistol shrimp will work with any goby and that I should look for the specific shrimp that my goby will pair up with. Do any of you have any idea which species of pistol shrimp that I should get to have the best chance of my goby pairing up with him? I have heard that it is the tiger pistol, but I never trust what comes from my LFS.
Thanks!
Glen

Hiya,
I didn't think the clown goby will pair up with a shrimp, but if they do, I want a pair!

According to the SWF info on the clown goby, it will, but I am still not sure which shrimp.

Clown gobies do not pair with pistol shrimp. They will hang out and host with braching sps corals for protection. Shrimp gobies associate with shrimp and hide in there holes for protection. I think a pistol shrimp might would host a clown gobie only for lunch.
