These fish usually live in symbiosis with tiger pistol shrimp, where they take on the role of guarding the shrimps' burrows. They generally have yellow coloration, though sometimes they may be black in color. They usually do not stray far from the burrows they guard, instead staying within a range where they can quickly return.
