Common Sea Salt killed my Volcano Shrimp
The answer is NO !
I made this mistake a few years back when I used Portuguese Sea Salt and Himalayan Rock Salt for my shrimp tank. It was affordable and easily available in any supermarket.
But the moment I put the volcano shrimp into the mixed salt water, they swam in circle and upsize down in distress ! Many shrimps died as a result.
Perhaps some chemicals were used in the packaging of these salts. But I have no way to find out.
My advice is to use Aquarium Sea Salt for marine fishes and invertebrates. Be safe than sorry.
