I am wanting to add a tiger sand-sifting goby to my 110 gallon tank that has a Watchman/Pistol Shrimp pair that is doing well. I am sure there will be some territory problems, but can they coexist peacefully?

They should be fine. Honestly even another shrimp goby would do fine. I have 2 aurora gobies, a yellow watchman, a firefish, a fourmanoiri tilefish, and a candy pistol shrimp all sharing the same burrow in a 75 gallon.

Originally the aurora gobies would square off, and each claimed half the tank, but after a month they moved in together and haven't fought at all.

I'd add a yellow headed or tiger sleeper goby (Valenciennea strigata or V. wardii) as well, but I have WAY too many frags on the bottom of the tank for that.
