All ornamental shrimp I have dealt with have been extremely sensative.
You really need to drip acclimate these guys for 1 1/2 - 2 hours to be safe. I drip acclimate everything that goes into my tank.
Also, just some input on the molting. Shrimp do molt when stressed, every shrimp I have put into my tank has molted within 12-48 hours after being put in the tank.
Sometimes when I order online, they have molted in the bag they are shipped in lol.
