bandad coral srimp

[jarrett shark]

has anyone had issue with acclimate them in past?
I have lost 2 over the past year by just adding a small cup of new tank water to the bucket they were in from old water... I just add say 8oz every 10-15min and by the 3rd cup I come back the shrimp is floating on there side and DEAD? I washed the bucket out good before each use because I thought on the first time I bought one It was the bucket might of had alk or calcium resin? just very strange when 2nd one died on me after 45mins... maybe I should just throw shrimp into new tank water?
PS the water and PH was exact of my tank when I tested the water

I've always acclimated in the bag.. put the bag in a bucket and empty most of the water out the bag. Then take a cup of tank water and pour into the bag. Half hour later add 1 and a half cups and continue doing this until the bag is full. Should be about a 2 hour process. I do this with fish also. Hope this helps buddy..
