Can all these shrimp go together?

I have a 20 gallon long reef tank. So far it only has some LPS and Softies.
I was wanting sexy shrimp, a cleaner shrimp ( I like the Pederson cleaners), Maybe a pair of Harlequin shrimp, and a peppermint shrimp.

Also, I have a 3 inch sand bed, and was wondering if I could fit some kind of pistol shrimp and goby pair in the tank with the others? Is there a pistolshrimp goby pair that stay small, and are peaceful? (and is reef/invertebrate safe)

I have a Skunk cleaner shrimp in my 210 gallon, and it likes to chase the peppermint shrimp out of its way when it wanders around...that's why I wasn't sure on fitting it in peacefully with the other shrimp in the 20.( Another reason why I want a Pederson cleaner.)


Suggestions?

Btw, the tank doesn't have tons of rock. It has a smallish rock wall along the back. Don't have any fish in the tank, cause I'm not sure on what to get and what will co-exist with the other things I want... Also, any extra info on the shrimp above would be appreciated.
 
I have had a 28g for 4 years.Shrimp include:mated harlequins,fire shrimp,coral banded,skunk cleaner,pistol shrimp with yellow watchman goby and a large arrow crab.Keep them fed and give them hiding spots and they should be alright.Good luck.
 
That mix will present no problems at all. Pedersons are very small compared to the others, and so translucent they are almost invisible at times. Harlequins have dietary issues, and Pedersons prefer a healthy Atlantic anemone, like a Condy or a Corkscrew to feel secure. I have three Pedersons living in an anemone in the same aquarium with a mated pair of Coral Banded Shrimp. This is usually not possible, but it's a large aquarium with lots of rock.
