New frag TLC?

[russclark27]

I have my first new frags (a zoa, a paly, and a star polyp) and after their trip from the LFS and some harrassment by my hermits, I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to help get them comfortable now that they're beginning to settle in. They're all opening up a little, so maybe just leaving them alone is best...just thought I'd see if anyone had some ideas or a routine to help the transition. Thanks!

I’ve always heard start them on the bottom of the tank with reduced lighting. Bring the lighting up over time (AI lights have an “acclimate” mode). Ultimately locate them to final positions.

Of course, I tend to try and place them in the tank where I’d like to keep them and let them rest there for a day or so. If all looks good then glue that sucker down.

Yeah I may have to glue sooner rather than later. The hermits seem to think they're rugby balls, and my emerald crab thinks they're warhammers.
