Gettin' back to the subject at hand....
Baby ghost shrimp can be amazingly hardy. I discovered three in a junky gross temp tank I forgot about for a while. Eventually, I lost track of them while I was on vacation. But one of my females is pregnant and laying, so I may see some more.
For protection, java moss, riccia (if you've got high light) or water sprite are excellent. The babies will hide there and not be eaten. These plants are also common protection for fry.
For filtration, I recommend a sponge over the intake, not a bit of pantyhose (no offense, William), as this traps dirt better, won't clog up as easily, and actually allows some pieces of junk to make it into the filter to get filtered out.
I wouldn't worry about it too terribly much. If you give them their own tank, try to give yourself good visibility, as they are so small... And be sure to add algae wafers. No need to pamper them--they're quite hardy if not eaten!
