Though the Banded Coral Shrimp can be aggressive towards other Banded Coral Shrimp and smaller shrimp of different species, most are peaceful towards fish, corals, and invertebrates within your aquarium. Because of its aggressive disposition towards other Banded Coral Shrimp, the Banded Coral Shrimp should be housed individually or kept as a true mated pair.

Should not be an issue.

I would say it also depends on your tank size, amount of food available, hiding places, etc. As long as they aren't competing for anything they probably wouldn't fight IMO
sorry to hear that. been there. It's like a Mutual of Omaha Wild Kingdom thing.
Currently, I have a banded coral shrimp along side 2 camelback shrimp, 3 emeralds, 2 porcelain crabs, 1 fire shrimp and one pistol shrimp, 2 pithy crabs and various other hermits. All living in peace for the last 12 mo. In fact the camelbacks hang out in the same grotto as the coral banded and they don't seem to notice each other.
that said, it is a 100gallon tank and perhaps they have plenty of elbow room and not a lot of competition for food (as others have said).
could also be that you coral banded was/is just a jerk. that happens.

Did you place all of those at different times or all at once? I have a 90 gal display so they should have similarish room.
I think I’m going to add my other shrimp first. Wait for a banded shrimp and get a younger one.

at different times.
Also had banded shrimp in a previous nano tank along with other emeralds and they did fine together....for whatever that is worth.
