Looks like a tiger snapping shrimp. There are many examples of them pairing with YWG. How long have they been in the tank together?
My randalls pistol and red banded goby took 2 weeks to pair. Be patient it will probably happen.
Yeah I wasn't sure. Thanks for clearing it up.@Mike N This is definitely not a tiger pistol shrimp, those are brown and white. This is Alpheus armatus and they do not pair with gobies. Instead they pair with a specific species of anemone, but will also live solitarily if the anemone isn't present in an aquarium.

No, that was the wrong kind of pistol shrimp. I got another kind and they paired up two weeks laterHello, Have your goby and shrimp paired up?
