peppermint shrimp and pistol in a pico?

[stewpid]

I recently have some aiptasia popping up...was thinking of adding one or 2 peppermints in my pico tank to try rectify the problem...but I already have a pistol shrimp in the tank and was wondering would the pistol shoot/kill/eat the peppermint.

My tank is also a pico so the chance of the peppermint venturing to the pistol territory might be higher?

Help appreciated!!!!

it should be quite safe, cos your peppermint shrimp's will know where to avoid

pistol usually rest on sand bed and hide in cave(foot of the rock) or dug a hole as nest. For peppermint, they move around although they do hide in cave, gap between rocks, etc. They are fast climb and mover as compared to pistol. Anyway, just dont get boxer shrimp(red white band type) and mantis shrimp. Shrimp does kill one another....only fittest survive.
