In my 120 I have a Coral Banded Shrimp as the only shrimp. I just purchased a swallowtail angel and she is going up to the shrimp presumably for a cleaning but my CBS doesn’t know how to handle her. Could I add a cleaner shrimp to my tank that would coincide with the CBS?
 
Yes. I have kept cleaners with a coral banded for years. The cleaner shrimp are much more aggressive at stealing food though if you have corals you like to spot feed. I had to move my cleaner to the sump it got to be such a pain trying to feed flower nems. Just something to think about.
