Pistol shrimp

[somechinesereefer]

Bought a full setup from another reefer and this pistol shrimp was a part of the package. It wasn't that big when I got him, but now its become a monster. I'm debating trying to trap it, as it has now decided to roam the entire tank and pushed my bonded goby/tiger pistol to a sad tiny little corner, with my goby being lost half the time trying to find its tiger, and avoiding the giant pistol. Any concerns about this pistol killing my other fish/tiger pistol?
