I have a 14g biocube that I am planning on keeping mainly corals. My stocking plans are

-clownfish
-yellow watchman goby
-tiger/randalls pistol shrimp

I am planning on getting the YWG regardless of If I get the pistol shrimp.

I know they dig through the sand and make burrows. My question is does the pistol shrimp move around the sand bed a lot and stir up the sand? And would you recommend keeping one in a 14g cube because its a pretty small tank and i'm wondering if the will mess with the rock structure from burrowing? Thanks.
 
Well, I think in any tank a pistol shrimp could possibly mess with the rock because the like to make burrows.
 
make sure your bottom rock is on the glass and you dont have to worry about it.
