I've just bought a coral banded shrimp (CBS) and added it into my 125 gal saltwater tank. I was really worried that he would attack my peppermint shrimp or my fish, but it turns out my fish are attacking him instead. I have two ocellaris and they were biting at him. He put up a fight but then I moved him under a rock above the sand to hide. I know its territorial issues, but I'm wondering if they can even be in the same tank? The CBS wanders around the tank at night and he is fine then. But I feel like once the ocellaris wake up, then they'll attack him again. It's just the first day of having him but this is putting me under a lot of stress. I'm not sure if I have to separate them, return the shrimp, or just hope for the best. Any help is very appreciated.
