Feeding a pistol shrimp

[Scotty Buttons]

Hello every one, I bought a YWG and tiger pistol shrimp pair from my LFS about a week ago. The goby is about 1" and the shrimp is maybe 3/4" there both tiny. So they settled in nicely and the shrimp went right to work digging them out a burrow, and the goby keeps watch. When I feed the tank the goby gets his share and sometimes the pistol pokes out like he wants to catch something to eat but never ventured far enough to get anything. My question is do I need to target feed their burrow to make sure he's getting something? Or does he scavenge enough food or eat ditritus?

TIA for any input

You shouldn’t need to spot feed it. The goby will share food with it IME

The goby won't let it starve. Mine were both tiny when I got them. The shrimp was around .750" and the goby was maybe 1.25". Both have doubled in size over the past 8 months or so.

Never feed my pistol and goby takes care of him

So I finally had a sighting of my red banded pistol. My Tiger goby has hung around him and the burrow. All seemed well. My shrimp finally makes an appearance and just as he grabs a morsel of food the goby aggressively takes it away from the shrimp. what the heck is this?
