I wouldn't risk it. Often Inverts are even more sensitive to water quality than fish. Hold out for just a little longer. You tank should be finished cycling very soon.

That's a risk it could help you or help you, just sit out and let it finish, I personally would not take the risk.

I think they should be fine as long as you constantly check the parameters.
