The kids and I picked up some great ocean shells from the beach, and I was
wondering if I could somehow make them safe for introduction for my
freshwater tank. They would be a great hidey hole for the amano and
blueberry shrimp during their molts.

Any ideas?
===================
I lived on Long Island for years and picked up shells constantly. I washed
them off and used them in fishtanks all the time. Just watch out for the
conch shells as I had a fish wedge itself in one and die. I switched to
clam, oyster and barnacle shells after that. But getting trapped can happen
even with store bought shells.
