    After the demise of our first goby, I took the plunge and bought another, hoping he would pair up with the pistol shrimp. I bought the the first goby/pistol shrimp as a pair, but they never found each other and the goby just never seemed to adjust. We found his "remains" about a week ago - ugh. We got the new goby 2 days ago and this morning, I found them paired up! The shrimp never "excavated" during the daytime before, but he's plowing up the whole tank now, antenae firmly attached to his goby buddy!
