The tank has 50 lbs of sand/excavator clay (about 5 inches deep).

Only one they are very cannibalistic and the only way to be for sure is to keep that from happening is keep them separate unless they are adults and you are breeding them but then they need to be separated immediately

Only scorpion you should be keeping communal that I've seen never have issues is the Arizona Bark scorpion (Centruroides sculpturatus) they live communally in the wild and so far, I have 12 together in a 10g and they all do just fine.
