my banded shrimp has been known to eat my hermit crabs and has already killed one of my fire fish so no new fish to my biocube 29 gallon for a while, but today i wen to the lfs and saw a lawn mower blenny and toked him. i will put him in my bc toked the banded shrimp out but for now as i dont want no fighting.
will my banded shrimp go kill him or will they be okay and just dosent like fire fish ..
his tank mates were just 2 clowns and emerald crab
and the bc looks lifeless without my banded shrimp

you have to feed a coral banded shrimp for it to not attack fish/inverts, A healthy blenny wouldn't be killed by the Shrimp just make sure you feed the shrimp and your blenny and you will be alright.

The blenny will be fine given their good size, however it will never be a guarantee that your clowns or any other small fish you put in there will be safe. Especially once the shrimp gets large, those things are notoriously aggressive.
