Acclimating Inverts

[BamboozleBean]

I’m acclimating 3 zebra hermit crabs, they’re temp acclimated but they’re not acclimated to the water parameters.
But I read on reefcleaners.org to not drip acclimate inverts.
What do I do?
They’ve already been in the bag for awhile now, so getting them in the tank as soon as possible would be great.

I’d temp match them and dump as soon as you open the bag. Do not dump the water into your tank. Pour them into a net held over a bucket then transfer them into your QT or DT

Float them and dump them in

Edit... dump the inverts. Not the water they came in.

Dump out 80 percent of the water in their bag in the sink then just dump them in the tank!

Yeah this whole drip acclimation thing for corals/inverts is nonsense.

Temp float them, then toss only the inverts in, not the water, you Don’t know what chemicals could be in their water.
