coral banded shrimp safe or unsafe?

[nightmarepl]

so i was looking into getting myself a coral banded shrimp cause they look pretty cool and are the biggest shrimp i know of you can keep, was wondering would he attack any of my fish, clean up crew other fire shrimp or cleaner shrimp or pistol shrimp or even my goby are they safe?

Good luck...

I had to remove mine from my tank after he took down 2 peppermint shrimp and kept going after some of my gobys. PITA getting him out. Had to take a bunch of rocks out.

Think long and hard before purchasing haha.

Also mine didn’t hangout in the open as much as my cleaner shrimp so felt like it was kinda pointless for me at least

Maybe I've been lucky but I've had no issues with my present one and its in the tank with other types of shrimp.

I had a bully

IF you can find the gold banded one, they eat bristle worms.

I've had two that were both terrible bullies to both fish and invertebrates. Its a shame, they are so cool looking and eat bristleworms.
