H. rubra, opae ula, super shrimp are brackish water shrimp. Algae or plants from salt water or fresh water is not recommended. They may die and cause problems. Algae or bacteria from someone's else opae ula tank should not be a problem and could help cycle your tank. Please read the articles on opae and when raising questions please indicate what type of shrimp you have. I am confused what shrimp you have and i feel you need to do a little more reading. Do not take offense but we cannot help you unless you try to help yourself.

I technically don't have them yet but I'm going to order them from petshrimp.com when the weather warms up. It's only like 25f outside now... :x
