how big is the tank and how much live rock do you have?...you shouldnt have any problems assuming you have plenty of live rock...

you should be fine... SHOULD but no 100% guarentee there. as far as shrimp it really depends on the size of your tank and its current bio load and CUC. generally peppermint, camel, cleaner, and coral banded should be fine with those crabs and im sure there are many more that im forgeting. pistol, etc.

i had many shrimp and crabs together including 5 pom poms visit my diary and u might learn a litte=P
by the way yes they will be very peacful towards each other that is if u take care of there needs and feed them a little once in a while.
