Heard from Tanner Mierow at #SICB2026 about the mutualisms between snapping shrimp and gobies.

Gobies need shrimp to dig holes. Shrimp need gobies to keep a lookout.

But who asks who out here?

Gobies initiate- they’re *desperate* for a shrimp. But once initiated, shrimp maintain the relationship.
