Russ, as Tony mentioned, Cleaner shrimp are extremely sensitive to changes in not only salinity, but pH, temp, etc. I'm sure this sensitivity is equal to not only other shrimp varieties, but all inverts. as well, given that water flows freely through their exoskeleton.
The most common method of transition is referred to as the "drip metthod". Float the closed bag long enough to ensure temp. equalization first and then open the bag and place in a container with room for overflow. You can also empty the specimen and the water into a container. Use a piece of airline and rely on siphon action to draw water into the bag. Use a clamp of some sort to reduce the water flow to a drip. Much like an interveneous drip used in hospitals. I like to do this over a period of at least one hour. The longer the better ![/u]
