In a 55g aquarium, becoming more "reeflike" (i.e. more liverock all the time), would a banded coral shrimp be ok with an arrow crab. How about sexy shrimp, peppermint shrimp, emerald crabs, etc. Which are reef safe? I know 2 banded coral shrimp will probably fight to the death, but not sure of extra-species conflicts.

ok CB are very aggressive and i dont recommend them but they are reef safe. the arrow crabs are hit and miss with corals and may fight with other crabs/shrimp and eat feather dusters. sexy and peppermints are reef safe and so are emerald crabs but sometimes they will attack things...all crabs are opportunistic feeders.
