Ghost Shrimp in Saltwater?

[want2bsleepy]

Anyone successfully kept GS in their SW tank?

Also, are ghost shrimp and grass the same?

Most of the shrimp that you see labeled as such are brackish. The store that I work at, we from time to time get shipments in from florida of "saltwater" feeder shrimp. They certainly look the same as a grass or glass or ghost shrimp. We keep them in the sumps in our coral systems without any issues. Shrimp can be sensitive to acclimation so if you go for it I would suggest a long acclimation process.

thanks so much! We need them for our frogfish, and either have to drive over an hour to our closest lfs, or catch them in the sound. It would be a lot easier to get a dozen or so at a time and acclimate them over to our salt water.
