Tiger Pistol Shrimp & Dracula Goby

[BigDysonPleco]

My pair get on great and are cool to watch and Ive read up on them, but my question is my Dracula goby feeds then when he has had is fill of say shrimp actually feeds the Pistol Shrimp by collecting food in his mouth and then swimming up to his friend and blowing this food directly to him.
This happens every feed time is this common as Ive not read about it? It is amazing to watch.
