I ordered from reefs2to and am getting these for free... Does anyone know about them? And what do I so when I get them? Do I just drop them in my tank?

I usually temp float the bag for about 15-20 minutes then I dip the corals and in they go.

Dip the corals in what? I'm a newbie. And do I just drop them.

I use coral rx for my dipping. It will help get rid of any critters that may have hitched a ride on the coral. You would place the frag in the tank where you want it, don't just drop it in. lol

 

[Dyl1234]

And will it sting you? Lol

 

[carey]

Nope, they are fine. Just wash your hands when youre done, paly's and zooa's can be toxic.

I have latex gloves too. Should I wear them?

if you like, it cant hurt thats for sure and will keep your hands clean.

Sorry I'm kinda hijacking this, but drip acclimation isn't needed with corals?

I've never dripped a coral before. Inverts like shrimp, snails and fish i do of course.

Interesting, I would think that since they're more sensitive it's better to drip. Guess not! Thanks

What is drip? Is that where you open the bad and slowly add water from aquarium?

Yep, you run a airline tube from the tank to the bag/container and tie a knot in it so the water drips into the coral bag

Alrighty. I have 100 hermits coming. It was cheaper to order more. I already have homes for about 50 of them too lol.
