Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Constructs a burrow in which both the species and a goby Ctenogobiops feroculus reside, displaying obligate mutualism. Gobies are rapidly killed by predators if excluded from shrimp burrows while the shrimp halts burrowing activity when separated from the goby. As adults, neither species is seen without the other. Found exclusively in shallow coral reef lagoons (Ref. 107898).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae

Members of the order Decapoda are mostly gonochoric. Mating behavior: Precopulatory courtship ritual is common (through olfactory and tactile cues); usually indirect sperm transfer.
