Need Help Acclimating Zoanthid

[TimSalty]

I bought a large lot of Zoanthids from someone in CA and I'm in NY. They will arrive after being in a styrofaom box with 24 hour heat packs for 3 days. Hows the best way to acclimate them after I've raised the temp, and salinity is established. (Float bags, them drip to equalize water)

Do I need to slowly bring up the lighting?

Is there anything that I should, or shouldn't do?

It's my first time dealing with a purchase that has been shipped for a few days.


Thanks for looking,
Tim

Unless the salinity of the water in the bag is 3 pts or more less than your tank water you dont need to acclimate besides floating the bags to temp before even opening the bag....then take them out and then dump then in your QT tank or treatment bucket and inspect closely
