coral banded shrimp questions

[cardstars]

I was just wondering if i can keep a coral banded shrimp in my 75 gallon with other invertes in it. I have heard that these shrimp can be pretty nasty. I know i cant keep more than one of them together or with an arrow, but can i keep one with other invertes such as a decorator crab, peppermint shrimp, sallylightfoot crab, porcelein crab, cleaner shrimp, purple lobster, pistol shrimp, other shrimps and hermits??? as you can see i would like a wide variety of shrimp and crabs in my 75, i just want to know if they can all live together ok before i buy them. I am also looking to have an angel and blue tang in the same tank. any help would be greatly appreciated

i forgot to mention that i wanted to throw some gobies in this tank too. would any of these shrimp or crabs eat my gobies?

I have/had a CBS in my 75g (everything is now in my 90g). He did fine. Only attacked a starfish during the move. Never went after anything (see sig for what is in there). Mine just hangs out in back and chills. I feed pretty good though, so he is always full. I have no doubt that if he were to get hungry, he'd go after something though.

I have a strawberry crab, cleaner, pistol and peppermint shrimp.
I have a coral banded shrimp that has never messed with anything. I know that there are some people who have problems with them. I would say it just depends if you get a mean one or a nice one. If I were you I would get a small one and since you are adding him to the tank and the other fish have there territories you may be o.k

Some of them may be very agressive. Mine is very agressive and nervous , but tankmates got used to him.

I just got one yesterday and he seems to be doing fine, so far he just hides out in the back during the day. He didn't come out until last night, but hasn't really bothered anything.
Does anyone feed their's anything other than parasites off the LR and flakes?

don't forget to feed him with a piece of cocktail shrimp at least once a week.

thanks for all the replies, i think what i will do is add him a couple weeks after all the other invertes and i will make sure that i get a small one, it sounds like i will be ok if i do that. thanks again for the info
