It all depends on the temperament of the CBS. I have a CBS and a scarlet skunk cleaner in my tank and they do fine. The cleaner shrimps are generally faster than the CBS, so if the CBS ever tries to go after the cleaner, the cleaner just runs away.

It really depends on the temperament of the CBS. I keep CBS,Peppermints,Flames,and Skunk cleaners together. Never had a problem.

I have a CBS, 2 cleaner shrimps, and a fire shrimp all in a 54g corner and everything is ok. I think to keep them from getting aggressive is to make sure they are well feed.

For the last 1.5 yeari keep 2 cleaners with 1 CBS with no problems. It is relly depends on the temperament of particular CBS.
