White caps are rather rare. Do you have pics of the shrimp? I’m not sure if it’s a pairing species.

It is a goby that can have a symbiotic relationship with pistol shrimp but I've not only not kept one, I've never seen one in person. Expensive and rare I would guess. Don't know of any drastic difference in caring for them than other shrimp gobies.

Would love to see some video/pictures if you get one!!!

Pistol looks young, hard to id. If it’s already paired with the goby, I’d go for it. This is a rare species that I would definitely jump on given the chance.

Looked at some pics and that shrimp matches it’s natural partner. It is good to go imo.
