Will coral banded shrimp and peppermint shrimp play nice?

I am going move everything from my pico tank (2.5 gallons) to 2 other tanks.
I want to put the peppermint shrimp in a tank that already has a coral banded shrimp in it.
Will they get along?
it's an 8 gallon biocube with the only other inhabitant a yellowtail damsel.

We found our peppermints cut in half near the CBS den this morning. They were in a 90g. So my guess is that they are not going to live together.
 
mines been a model citizen irritates corals by stealing their food never seen it eat my peppermints but I barely see them anyway but there still there
 
I don't think I would trust it in that small of a tank. I've got 3 peps and a CBS in a 90 gallon and haven't had any issues. The peps stay as far away from the CBS as they can.
 
I would say don't do it. I put 4 peppermints in with 3 CBS in a 400 gal. Don't know if the peppermints are still there But I haven't seen any of them in a couple of months now
 
I had to get rid of my coral banded shrimp because he killed and ate any other shrimps in the tank including peppermints and that was in a 4ft tank.
