I was watching one for a few minutes at the LFS the other day. Was housed with a bunch of small pipefish. I saw his grab ne of the fish momentarily before losing it's grip. I love them too but don't personally think they are safe.

CBS are known to be territorial, and not like other shrimps

I've had a large one in with my cleaner for about 9 months and he has never bother him. But I do suspect that he is the cause of a Lawnmower blenny and a yellow watchmen jumping out of my tank.

But just wanted to tag along and see what other input there is about them

Every single coral banded shrimp i have ever had(5+)
has attacked and killed all my shrimp even though he
was fed regularly.. so my opinion is no they are not
shrimp, small fish friendly. They are harmless to corals though,,

coral banded shrimp aren't safe with feather dusters either. Mine did a good job of retraining my clownfish to not eat cleaner shrimp though
