Will a pistol shrimp pair with a tiger watchman goby?

I don't believe so, its typically Stonogobiops, Amblyeleotris, and Cryptocentrus gobies that form the symbiotic relationship.

Thank you for the quick response. I didn't believe so either but I was just wondering

. Could I have any of those gobies with my tiger watchman or will they be too territorial?

probably depend on the size of the tank, I have two goby/pistol pairs in my 75g and they stay on opposite ends of the tank and I haven't had any issues between them.
