peppermint shrimp

[scrmom]

I purchased my first critter for tank yesterday. I chose a peppermint shrimp because I may have aptasia. My question is that it is swaying back and forth a lot. Is this normal behavior? I acclimated using the drip method. The water parameters were a little different from lfs then mine such as lfs: ph lower, temp lower, spgrav higher, nitrates higher. So, actually my water seemed to be a better quality. When should I start worrying about the shrimp?

They have a natural "swaying" movement to them. If it is active and moving around, I wouldnt worry. If you acclimated for a minumum time of an hour you should be ok.
