Are Inverts such as Shrimp and Snails vulnerable to ick or velvet?

Yeah, I forgot to mention that. Good catch. I was thinking it when I typed it.

I see. So inverts are NOT affected by Ick or Velvet, but the Medicines will harm/kill them?

most meds for ick or velvet will defo kill ur inverts,there are meds about that are safe for inverts but they are slow working and inevitably you will probably lose some fish in the process.

i have an all organic ick product for saltwater fish, it works like a charm and does not harm any inverts, ive used it plenty throughout time when i get ick invasions, it takes a week to rid of ick fully and its called ick-attack by aquaherbals
