Bit of history: I've had a pistol shrimp for 2 and a half years. Has always lived under a specific rock. Was paired w a watchman goby till 6 mths ago when goby died.
Added an engineer goby 2 weeks ago. 5 foot tank. shrimp just relocated to the other side of the tank. I was going to get a watchman goby for the shrimp but now I'm worried because I don't know if the shrimp can protect it from a pushy engineer goby. what do you think?
 
My beloved shrimp has relocated to. Small central island where the goby doesn't bother going. Poor thing. What do I dooo?!?

Don't worry about it.

My engineer and 2 watchmen actually shared a burrow for a while. The engineer moved out, but I have yet to see any aggression between them.
