Anemone acclimation question

[A Toadstool Leather]

Is too long an acclimation a bad thing? I am getting an rbta next week and I also wanted to know what would be a good acclimation time for an anemone that was brought from a fish store 15 minutes away. I was thinking the lack of shipping stress meant I could drip for a shorter time (maybe an hour).

This is a perfect thread for your question. It is the method I used with great success.

In a nutshell, I just floated, and put him in. It was a shipped anemone.

I just acclimated both my nems the same way I acclimate anything else! Float for 30 mins, add tank water every 4 minutes until volume in the bag doubles. Hope this helps!

I guess they are hardier than I thought. I will still drip just to be safe.

If you get a healthy one you shouldn't have much of a problem at all! Keep us updated!!
