Anemone shrimp together with cleaner shrimp?

I had a white spotted anemone shrimp and it was doing well and eating fine until i got a cleaner shrimp for my tank. The cleaner shrimp seemed to be very erratic and hyper and greedy. I found the anemone shrimp had jumped out of the tank one day (only found it in the morning) and I guess it was stressed out by the cleaner. Had seen it in high alert mode a few times, raising its claws whenever the cleaner shrimp was nearby.

Are the anemone shrimps and cleaner shrimp not compatible? I would like to keep anemone shrimps, does that mean i need to remove the cleaner?

shrimps will always try to eat each other. If you tank if big enough, there will be less encounters. Possible to keep both but be prepared for any eventuality.
