Return the coral banded shrimp to the lfs for a credit.
Do not add any more hermit crabs. Both the crabs and shrimp are predators and are competing for food with your scooter and other bottom fish you have with the result that you will likely lose your scooter soon.
If you have not done so add a refugium to produce pods that the scooter needs to survive.
