Mixing shrimp?

Hello, I was wondering what you all think about adding a flame shrimp in with a CBS and a skunk cleaner in a 37g mixed reef?

I have 70 lbs of live rock, my CBS is pretty mild unless someone gets in his way when he prowels at night he will flare up!
 
you cant really turn your back on a cbs, kinda unpredictable. i have a skunk which was established in my tank for a long time and then added a fire shrimp... i believe the skunk got the fire...
 
I have two Skunk Cleaners, two Fire, one Peppermint and one Monkey shrimp, everyone seems have their own corner of a 72 bow. I have a pair of CBS in a 30 and have read they are not to be trusted with other types of shrimp. HTH.
 
I have not seen any issues between my fire shrimps and my skunk cleaners, but I have a coral banded shrimp that likes to snack on skunk cleaner shrimps whenever he gets the chance. He is in his own tank now. I agree that Coral Banded shrimps are not to be trusted.
 
I think ill just keep my cbs and skunk cleaner i have for now then. They are about the same size so I think they will be ok.
