    Ok, so I currently have a Sponge Crab. I would like to know, If I go and buy a Coral Banded Shrimp would the sponge crab eat it.

    probably vice versa, CBS are know to be pretty aggressive at times, i had a cbs with an arrow crab and a pom pom crab and he killed both of them.
    they also will prey on fish if given the chance. they are opportunistic feeders.

    the coral banded shrimp are also some of my favorite shrimp to put in a reef. they are good to clean up after feeding time. i also like pistols.
