I never heard of any jawfishes sharing a den with a shrimp or crab.You have the wrong type of fish. I can not remember the type of fish that you are looking for right now. I sure some one else would know.

Watchman gobies bond with shrimp, the shrimp are blind and rely on the fish for protection. Hence the name watchman. Jawfish will eat small crabs and shrimp or at the very least harrass them.

This is Dig Dug. He doesn't bother, eat, or bond with any shrimp I have had in my tank. He just blows water at them when they get close to his homes.

That's a beauty right there!
The manhattan reef app should go back to that (Fish icon) ;-)

The watchman goby acts as the "eyes" for the pistol shrimp. If anything happens the goby moves and the shrimp, who keeps one antenna on the fish at all times, knows to retreat into the burrow. If push comes to shove and whatever danger there is decides to investigate the burrow, the pistol shrimp unleashes with his "pistol" on their assailant.
