I was watching the world's most extreme animals and they had a section on the pistol shrimp. It explained how they hunt and how their strike is like a sonic weapon. They showed footage of it hunting, and it killed and ate a cleaner shrimp. I would have never thought they could live with other shrimp in an aquarium! I guess with lots of food present they have no need to kill anything else... that is so cool.
Mind you I keep a puffer, banana wrasse and a trigger with a coral banded, cleaner and peppermint shrimp and have had no losses as of yet.
