    I wouldnt see it as a problem, do you have rock for the blood to hide in? mine ONLY comes out at night, and my skunk is out all the time, and my coral banded stays hidden i rarely see him, so if you have plenty of rock work id say its a go, if not, id hold off till you get some good hiding spots.

    You should be good, next time i see my coral banded i have to yank him out, he's picking on my fish and ripping fins so stay away from them, plus it doubled in size since i got him

    IMO i'd be careful... each shrimp is different.
