There is a local breeder who supplies LFS with sw ghost shrimp in the SA area. We carry them and I would guess that is probably what you saw at Fin Addict. They are totally safe for your fuge and are true sw shrimp. They are also great algae eaters.

There are actually 2 species of closely related ghost shrimp. Both are actually brackish water species but one is more tolerant of FW and one is more tolerant of SW. That is why you commonly see two types of ghost shrimp at LFS.
