Pistol shrimp danger

Hi All,

We have a couple of pistol shrimp in our tank that came in the live rock. One is growing and we see him out a lot. We just lost our peppermint shrimp and I believe it was at the mercy of the big pistol. We have 2 clowns in the tank and are wondering if its best to remove the pistols before they kill any fish? Any advice.

 

I have had a pistol in with my clowns for 1.5 years with no issues.....get him gobie to partner up with it is a neat relationship to watch

 

No danger to fish. Normally they find most of their food by sifting through the sand, keeping it sparkly clean. We've had our pistol for 8 months, and we have 6 fish in the tank. None have been harmed. However, we have lost pep shrimp to him. He's never bothered our cleaner shrimp, but I believe the pep shrimp in our tank now is number 6 :

I wouldn't worry about them. Maybe buy a yellow watchman (what we have). He'll probably pair up with a shrimp, it's so cool to watch!

 

Thanks. I just set a trap and caught our hermies I will remove it and get the shrimp a gobbie.
