Next up in our Christmas critter series is the Candy Cane Shrimp 🦐🎄 🦐 These tiny, mostly blind shrimps get their name from their characteristic red and white stripes 🦐 They are officially known as the Randall’s pistol shrimp (Alpheus Randall) 🦐 They are native to the Indian and Central Pacific Oceans 🌊 🦐 They share their burrow with the goby fish, each reliant on one another for their survival. The goby fish actually protects the shrimp from predators by giving alerts with its tail. 🦐 Even if the goby fish finds a mate, they will still share the same burrow with the shrimp... an unusual marine family! #CandyCaneShrimp #MarineFacts #MarineCreature #MarineBiology #SpeciesFact
