Not unless it is dying, the goby can hold its own ground.

You mean, like this?
 They are good buddies, they sleep in the same burrow that the YWG made.

I think they will not cause problem if kept together.

I pulled my CBS last week. He killed each peppermint shrimp I put in, then started nipping me each time my hand went in the tank. He was well fed too, just a p.i.t.a.

Hard to believe a shrimp can catch another unless one is weak or dying. A healthy flick of the tail will evade an attack. I guess it happens.
