Planing to get a couple of peppermints and a cleaner for my 66G. I have a CBS that has been in it for 8 months now. It usually likes to hang upside down in a cave and does not bother crabs or snail.

My question is, would it kill the new shrimps I want to get ?

I had 3 peppermint shrimp and 2 cbs. Few months passed and i havent seen any of the peppermints
 
I have 2 sexy shrimp, 1 scarlet cleaner, 1 skunk cleaner, and 1 CBS in a 55 gallon with no problems
 
The banded coral shrimp is known to bully and eat other smaller shrimp. Individuals may vary, but typically the only other shrimp it may tolerate in your size tank is its mate. The cleaner may have a chance if you get a big one but the peppermints will probably become a midnight snack.
