Are pep shrimp difficult to acclimate? I picked up 3 from Aquatek last weekend and none of them appear to have survived. The tank is a 75 gal mixed reef with all parameters in check. I picked them up to assist with some aiptasia. Aquatek had them at a salinity of 1.018-.019. I drip acclimated them for 5 hours to my tank salinity of 1.025. I found one being consumed by some bristle worms and another dead behind the rocks. I can only assume the third is dead since he I cannot find it during the day or night. My clown fish and corals are doing fine. Any suggestions for next time to prevent this from happening again? Thanks.
