Brackish ghost shrimp?

My LFS selling brackish ghost shrimp.
I wonder how long they can survive in our reef tank if I acclimated them to reef salinity?
I don't need them to last forever but at least few days or a week before my dwarf lions consume them all.

Ghost shrimp are likely Palaemonetes, a genus of caridean shrimp. Which most commonly are sold as fresh water shrimp; but are fresh, brackish, and marine dwelling. I buy them as fresh water shrimp and put them in my salt water tanks, they are always eaten way before they die. You lion will snag them very fast, not to worry. When I've tried to feed new comers some that may have been too big, I've seen them living a week or two later. They have a very short lifespan as it is, and I don't even acclimate them. The brackish ones you have are likely the same ones I get, just in brackish water sold as brackish ghost shrimp,

Thanks!
I pick a few large one for a test :)
My Lions down them fast and the biggest shrimp survived the initial attack made it to rock work and start picking algae to eat hahaha, thanks again.
I just want to make sure they last for sometime and not die all at once and fouling my water quality, I still acclimate them for better survival rate, my LFS suggested me to do that and I think they sometime do have some good suggestion :)
