As far as I know they pretty harmless. (glass shrimp)
My wrasse gets them for breakfast and there are some in my Dsb thats been there for over a year.
But rather wait for the more knowledgeable guys to give you a clear answer

Ya - I used to collect tons of them in the Strand rock pools to feed to my blue ribbon eel at the time. I kept them in a small tank with an airstone for weeks and fed them pelets until they become supper for the eel.
