CBS & YWG symbiotic?!

I have the smaller species, purple coral banded shrimp, stenopus tenuirostris, who has been residing with my YWG. The YWG usually runs off anything that comes close but doesn’t seem to mind the CBS. I didn’t think CBS went into symbiotic relationships, other than cleaning stations on a rare occasion?  Is this unique?  I know that sometimes YWG host candy cane pistol shrimps, is my YWG confused? Lol

Now my serpent star, seems to want to stay and join the fun. I’ve got a manage-a-trois making a permanent residence in his cave 😂

Tolerating the CBS vs symbiosis, IMO.

 

A lot of fish/shrimp/crabs that are not predators of each other will tolerate living together, especially when one species is a cleaner type.
