Ghost shrimp are constantly eating away algae making them helpful for lightly cleaning your aquarium and theyre bigger than say a cherry shrimp so they can be fun to watch. However most types of shrimps can tolerate aquarium salt in small doses. Ghost shrimp can tolerate temperatures as low as 65F.
Aquarium salt is not safe for all types of shrimps.
Shrimp can become easily distressed and because of this they can die. Ghost shrimp unless you are talking about some other shrimp are a freshwater species and will not live for very long in your saltwater refugium. Theyre relatively inexpensive so they can also be used as feeder shrimp. Ghost Shrimp are almost always available for sale at local pet stores as well as at the larger chain stores.
