how to acclimate new corals??
I just bought some zoas, favia and galaxea.
Do I need to acclimate them the same way like my fishes? |

I also use the 'drip' method. Check this link for more information on how to implement the 'drip' method.http://www.saltwaterfish.com/site_11_03/acclimation.php

With most corals, a drip method is perfered, but not always the right thing to do, it really depends on the coral, most zoas will do fine with a drip, just make sure the temp stays the same

Temperature acclimation for 20 minutes, then right in the tank. Never had a problem. Just did it today with these three specimens.
Yellow Coco Worm  Red/Green Open Brain  Neon Green Frogspawn  Each pic was taken about 2 hours after introduction to the tank. There is no need to acclimate corals like fish. swimmer
