    I think with the yellow watchman and the tiger it is a pretty sure thing. I have heard that the shrimp's burrowing can cause under mining of the scape but never seen it myself or heard a first hand account.

    I ordered the pair about 2.5 years ago and they both came in the same bag from the LFS, dumped them in the tank and they have been living together with a huge bristle worm since.

    Thanks 2in10. Quite the strange grouping, but after a 1 year or more I guess everyone gets something out of the relationship. Instills the idea that large fireworms are not the villians they are made out to be. When the shrimp molts he is vulnerable to preditation yet the bristle worm has lived in harmony with the two.

    I think people catch them in the act of cleaning up and decide it is predation.

    Yes sometimes it takes awhile. My goby hid for 3 months and the shrimp for about the same time. I think as they got older they got bravier. The shirmp would be out all the time if the goby let him.
