Will a CoralBanded Shrimp mess with feather dusters?


Basically I have to get these shrimp (1 Coral Banded, 1 Peppermint and 3-4 grass shrimp) out of my macro fuge cuz they are noticeably depleting pod population. The plan was to leave this area rich in pods and have my seahorse be the sole predator in there. But in fear that my Coralbanded Shrimp might harm the expensive Xmas tree worms I moved him over to the plant section. I also am still battling an infestation of carnivorous swimming hydroids so I put a Peppermint over there as well. The Grass shrimp I put in there to help keep the mud floor clean,w hich worked great as they even helped to try up mud now and again and release trace elements. But again, I gotta get them out of there. I know the Peppermint and Grass shrimp can go over in the "Porites Hills" without a problem but if the CoralBAnded is a threat to the worms, my only option is either joining the Arrowcrab in my sump or giving him away. Cuz the MT aint happenin cuz my Wrasse and Eel would eat him in no time.

So if I were to keep the shrimp fed well in the rock section, will he leave my dusters alone?

I've had a coral banded shrimp in my tank with some christmas tree worms and have not seen any problems yet.

k thank you just needed to hear that. That would be best case senario to just be able to move them all over there. CBShrimp could be appreciated alot more in the other side.
