I impulsively bought the big orange pistol shrimp before I learned they don't pair with/will probably eat gobies. Made the right choice keeping it in a breeder box in a separate tank from my watchman pair, but now it has escaped and has made a burrow under my gsp rock. Should I be concerned/try to get it out?

Tank is stocked with:
1 cirrhilabrus cyanogularis
2 perculas
2 grammas
1 banggai
1 molly miller blenny

I doubt he/she'll be able to get the clowns or banggai, but the grammas and wrasse sleep in/under the rocks so that concerns me a bit. I have a lot of rocks and they don't sleep anywhere near where the pistol has burrowed, and the wrasse is about twice the shrimp's size, but yknow.
