They are fighting! My pistol shrimp started digging his hole, and my diamond goby "prince charles" went in and attacked my pistol shrimp. Pistol shrimp showed his claws and my diamond goby went away, but he keeps going back for more. What should i do? I hear they can live together fine! #reefsquad

Diamond gobies don't form symbiotic relationships with pistol shrimp as other gobies do. I suspect it's a territorial dispute.
Yeah, i knew they didnt pair up, i have a yellow watchman goby for him to pair up with, however i was worried when i saw aggresion between them, because that i didnt expect lol
