GOBIES DIG BURROWS FOR SHRIMP, AND SHRIMP CLEAN PARASITES OFF OF THE GOBIES

SHRIMP DIG BURROWS AND GOBIES WATCH FOR APPROACHING PREDATORS

Gobies chase away fish predators and shrimp chase away invertebrate predators

Shrimp get a meal of parasites and gobies get cleaned of parasites

ACROPORA CORALS AND GOBIES HAVE AN EFFECTIVE MUTUALISM ONLY WHEN THE ALGAE THAT DAMAGES CORAL IS NON-TOXICGOBIES CAN HELP CORAL BY CONSUMING ALGAE, BUT THE GOBIES ARE NOT AS EFFECTIVE AT DOING THIS AS CRUSTACEANS THAT LIVE IN THE ALGAE

GOBIES ARE SIGNALED BY THE CORALS WHEN TOXIC ALGAE COME INTO CONTACT WITH THE CORAL

ACROPORA SIGNALS GOBIES TO COME CONSUME ALGAE EVEN WHEN THE EXPERIMENTERS PLACED AN ALGAL MIMIC (CONTROL TREATMENT) NEXT TO CORAL, WHICH WAS A PIECE OF INERT MESH

SMALL CRUSTACEANS ARE EFFECTIVE A CHASING AWAY VERY SMALL PREDATORS OF CORALS, BUT NOT LARGER ANIMALS LIKE FISHES

Corals that have protecting crustaceans produce excess mucus compared to corals that do not have protecting crustaceans

SMALL CRUSTACEANS ACT AS CLEANERS FOR THE CORALS BY PICKING PARASITES OFF OF THE CORAL TISSUE

THE SMALL CRUSTACEANS GET A “HOME” (A CREVICE TO LIVE IN) FROM THE MUTUALISM, BUT THAT IS THE ONLY BENEFIT FOR THEM THAT WE KNOW ABOUT
