Bengaii Cardinal fish died

[Cthulukelele]

I do like blennys and gobies but my cleaner shrimp is a dick and I just have that one piece of rock in my tank so I worry that it would be stressed all the time

Is it a skunk cleaner shrimp? If so if it's "being a dick" it may just be trying to clean the fish. They're pretty aggressive about it and it can look like bullying when in fact it's a salon visit

Yeah it doesn’t want to clean it just harasses/pushes in front of everything for food including all my corals.

There has been an influx of these especially imports coming in - in bad shape as they do not ship well in addition to overbreeding in which there has been ban proposals on them.
These fish it frozen only and if it was thin, likely already starving.
Acclimation is very important for them also

This is a couple of weeks ago. Fat and healthy and eating well.
