idk about other shrimp? altho ive wanted to add a cleaner shrimp was just a little worried. i will stay tuned to see what others say. as for the hermits... my tiger pistol pops a cap in them quite often, she'll drag them in and rig their shell into one of her many structures. the crabs just pop back out, its fun to watch them crawl back out of the rubble. i have more issues with the hermit crabs trying to kill each other!

As far as I know pistol shrimps will not harm cleaner shrimp because they mostly remain on the sand bed and the cleaner shrimps live under crevaces.
I had my pistol shrimp in my refuge with sand and aragonite mixed, they constantly rearrange the tunnel and surrounding areas where they live. It won't be a problem keeping it in your tank. They kinda remind me of a bulldozer in an excavation site where they constantly bulldoze back and forth. Very active buggers!!

I've had a pistol shrimp living in my 90 gallons for quite a while along with 2 cleaner shrimps & one fire shrimps - no problems. Neither with hermit crabs. BUT I added an emerald crab twice in a row - and they were gone within 2 weeks. Same with porcelain crabs.... Peculiar...

Thanks everyone! Sounds like it will be ok. Frenchie, do you think the pistol shrimp killed your emerald crabs?
