I want to know if it would be fine to add peppermint shrimp to my tank. I have a big fire shrimp which has lived along my melanruse, he was added after the melanruse and they live fine. I did recently add 3 mollies to my tank and it killed all but one, I think they bothered it because they kinda schooled together. Will it be safe to add a few fire shrimp or hermit crabs even tho my melanruse makes snacks of snails?

Its 50/50
I have all 3 cleaner shrimp species alongside a large aggressive timor. Though I've also had Halichoeres wrasse that size tear up peppermint. If you do you should escort them to the rocks with your hand. If they have good enough holes they will be fine as peppermint are nocturnal
