Inherently shy, this Aurora Shrimpgoby, Amblyeleotris aurora, warns its partner, a Randall?s Shrimp, Alpheus randalli, of danger by wiggling its fins. With this signal, both animals dash into the safety of their shared burrow, which is constructed & maintained by the shrimp. Barren Island, Andaman Islands, India, Andaman Sea, Indian Ocean
