Steinitzs shrimp-gobies
Steinitzs shrimp-gobies (Amblyeleotris steinitzi) at the entrance to their burrows. Steinitzs shrimp-gobies are always found in a mutualistic association with an alpheid shrimp (Alpheus sp.). The near-blind shrimp builds and maintains the burrow, while the goby guards it. When outside of the burrow the shrimp will rest one of its antennae on the fish, which will quiver if it detects danger. Steinitzs shrimp-gobies grow up to 8 centimetres in length and are found in sandy areas near coral reefs in the Indo-Pacific region. Photographed off Indonesia

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the fascinating partnership between Steinitzs shrimp-gobies and alpheid shrimps in the depths of Indonesia's tropical waters. The image captures a moment at the entrance of their burrows, where these unique creatures thrive in mutualistic harmony. Steinitzs shrimp-gobies, known scientifically as Amblyeleotris steinitzi, rely on their near-blind alpheid shrimp companions (Alpheus sp. ) to construct and maintain their shared burrow. In return for this safe haven, the vigilant goby assumes the role of guardian, protecting both itself and its crustacean counterpart from potential threats. The intricate bond between these two species is beautifully depicted as one of the shrimps delicately rests an antenna on its watchful fish companion. This subtle touch serves as a communication tool - if danger lurks nearby, even with impaired vision, the goby will instinctively quiver to alert its partner. Growing up to 8 centimeters long, Steinitzs shrimp-gobies are commonly found in sandy areas adjacent to coral reefs throughout the Indo-Pacific region. Their presence adds vibrancy and diversity to marine ecosystems while exemplifying nature's remarkable ability to foster symbiotic relationships. Through this mesmerizing photograph captured by Science Photo Library off Indonesia's coastlines, we gain insight into this extraordinary biological alliance that highlights cooperation and interdependence within our natural world.
