Acclimating

[CarlDelain]

So, I have been wondering the past few weeks (and now that I am having a nem shipped to me next week, I'm wondering even more) how to acclimate a dry shipped anemone. Because so many people are shipping dry now, I would like to know before my anemone gets here, just in case! It is a purple S. Haddoni.

I know when you acclimate something that comes in water. you acclimate until the waters params are the same as your tank. But, what is there to match with a dry shipped anemone?

Any tips would be nice! :thumbsup:

This is just a guess, since I have never received a dry shipped one. I would just float, for temp, for 15 minutes or so. At that point I would put in the tank, perhaps in a sand filled tuperware container -- to better control/monitor it while it "refills".

That's what I was assuming.
I'm not sure if there is much else you could do!
Nothing I could think of anyways! I just wanted to get a few peoples opinions :thumbsup:
