Hitchiking Pistol Shrimps

This morning I got about 13 pounds of LR from Sealife Inc. It's awesome and full of life, especially full of baby pistol shrimp. In the bucket I used to dunk the LR before putting it in the tank I found three of the little guys, mostly transparent a few faint markings with one claw noticeably bigger than the other, and making a clicking sound when moved to the tank. I know there have to be many more of them in the tank, I get a good click every ten minutes or so, more when the lights are off. What I want to know is, how territorial are these guys against their own kind? Will I wind up with a pistol shrimp army, or one really badass shrimp? Should I worry about feeding them? If so, what? I wish I could show you the photos I took, but I'm missing my camera USB cable, I'll try and get a replacement soon.

I'd just let 'em chillax. They should be okay for a while yet.

 

If they start to get territorial just try and snag a few out and trade 'em off.
