Mutualism is that they help one another in different terms.
Gobies and Pistol shrimps depend up on each other for their protection and shelter. They also have 'beneficial relationship' with each other which is called as mutualism.
EXPLANATION:
Mutualism is the 'ecological interaction' between two species or more than two species where each 'species' benefits in some way or the other. Organisms that share mutualism relationship are said to have evolved together and therefore depend on each other in some way or the other. The organisms make use of each other and depend up on each other in some way or the other.
