pistol shrimp question

[ahullsb]

I already have two large cleaner shrimp and one fire shrimp. I have a yellow watchman goby that I wanted to pair with a pistol shrimp. Is it going to kill the cleaners and fire shrimp? And should I assume that sexy shrimp would be a meal for it also?

Being that for the most part they are scavengers, it's not likely that they will unless they get really hungry. Although, they are also have a "let the world come to me" attitude, so might go after a shrimp if it gets too close to it's burrow.

Note that this is just me talking from a scientific stand point.

Bump. I would say it could be a risk when it got older and if it felt like it had to attack one it would. I don't have any experience with one, but it sounds like with all those shrimps you might have some trouble with a pistol. I would think the sexy would be the first to go.
