They are also a type of cleaner shrimp but when in captivity they don't not perform cleaning of fish as frequent as the skunk shrimp. but if you are to keep them to clean and pick around the tank, they are a better choice. Skunk on the other hand will become lazy and go for the fish food when they grow big.

Hope this helps =).

think got a thread on this where the skunk bully the fire. Think is case by case basis and also tank size is an important factor. Have seen LFS with skunk and fire living together without any problem.
