Pep shrimp problems

[BJanecka]

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.

other parameters? amonia, nitrate?

Salinity was checked with a refractometer.
ca 400
alk 2.75
nitrate 0
ammonia 0

I have a mag, iod, and phosphate kits on order.

Temp is 80-82.

Strange may be bad shrimp, they are usually quite hardy.
