Stocking Advice for a 10g

Just wanted to say you guys are awesome, and you've made everything run a lot more smoothly for me than it would have otherwise! :bounce1:

My 10g reef looks like it's ready to go. I added the CUC yesterday and they're doing well.

CUC:
3 blue leg hermit crabs
2 Nassarius snails
1 Micro brittle star hitchhiker

So I'm thinking I'd like to add a goby/shrimp combo. How do you guys feel about a Hi Fin Red Banded Goby (Stonogobiops nematodes) paired with a Red Banded Pistol Shrimp (Alpheus randalli) in my 10 gallon? Will that be enough space?

Also, I've read that the Hi Fins prefer to pair with this specific shrimp. Is that correct? I really want them to be as happy as possible in my tank.

I haven't bought any corals yet, but did get two small mushroom hitchhikers on my rock. I'd like to add some zoas in the near future and a cauliflower colt or some GSPs. Should that all work out?

Thank you very much!
 
That is the exact combo I had in my 10 gallon! They were cool to watch before the Goby vanished. Shrimp is still around and easily doubled in size since I got it. Looking to get another goby for him soon.
