If you feel the need to have them in a breeding box, and not directly in the tank then maybe its not a suitable shrimp to have. At 1/4" they are fit to be placed directly in the tank pending you have a non agressive community that wont target inverts. Do you have an anemone and clownfish? Sometimes they have trouble cohabitating since the sexy shrimp tend to use the nem as a feeding ground and clowns will not like anything in their nem if its hosting them.

I have a rock flower nem that has struggle why i don't know my clown are hosting a frogspawn coral i have a tail spot blenny a gold head goby a mandarin and a goldflake angle am also planning to upgrade to a 120g when my build is gonna be done

Sure, it's not the worst idea. They are super cute. Ensure adequate flow somehow. They recommended an air pump or you can drill a hole and add a tiny power head (on the outside of the box flowing in). With a little liverock and an anemone it will be a cute micro habitat in your aquarium. I don't know about 5, but 2,3 ok

Your angelfish is not suitable for a small tank or to be housed with inverts just fyi.
