Tiger tail sea cucumber and pistol shrimp

[Benthopelagic]

Hey everyone so this is I think my first post. So I was contemplating getting a tiger tail sea cucumber and was curious about whether it and my already present pistol shrimp would get along. Would the pistol shrimp cause it to get stressed enough to release toxins? I have a 180 gallon tank and so space isn't an issue in having one. Any information would be appreciated. I was considering him because my sand continually gets algae growing on it that I have to clean out manually. If there's any other suggestions I'm open but I haven't had any luck with gobies for some reason so those are out of the picture.

I've had both in my tank together for a bit over a year now (100 gallons), and no problems yet. The pistol shrimp stays under the rocks, the cucumber moves around the tank slowly doing his thing.

I have both in a 38 gallon and they are fine

Any follow up? Do we know of it worked for years? Any tank crashs?
