I plan on adding a pistol shrimp and watchman gobie in a few months. I currently have two tiger conchs. They really do an awesome job of keeping the sand turned over. Will they pose problems for the pistol shrimp building his burrow?
 
No…they will help him once he steals them to use as walls lol
Jk (sort of)
They will get along. I don’t have conches with mine but I do have other snails and hermits with him and he leaves them be. The pistol will occasionally take one under thinking it’s a shell. Once he realizes it’s alive, a few pops and then he takes them back out (or they escape) and it’s like nothing ever happened.
