Pistol Shrimp Friends with others?

[Jennifier615]

Could I put a Banded Coral Shrimp or other liverock/coral cleaner in the same tank that contains a pistol shrimp? I have a 30 gallon tank and my pistol shrimp has a large area in under and between liverock and a yellow watchman goby......think the goby will ward off a cleaner shrimp that is more visible during the day?

Pistols are so sketchy about their burrows I don't think the CBS would have a chance in hell catching it unless it was sick or somehow injured.

I have a candy cane pistol and high fin goby, and they are skeeeetttchy. I can't even get near my tank without a dash back into the cave and have to hold still to not scare them. Not to mention my goby is so damn protective of the shrimp he will not let it out at all, even when the shrimp pinches him in protest, haha.
