Huh first time I’ve seen it so just to be clear it’s fine to add to display and not will affect parameters and it’s slimed because of change of environment possibly stress etc ?They do slime.
It’s fine to add them. In the future you should just float (if the temp is off by more than a couple degrees), dip, and then put them in the tank. Drip acclimating is just unnecessary stress. The sooner you can get them into flowing water so they can properly respirate, the better. Corals take in and expel water through diffusion, so they are self acclimating. They will acclimate to your tank, extend their polyps and open up sooner if you skip the drip acclimation. Still want to drip acclimate fish and inverts, but corals and anemones should just be floated, dipped, and put in the tank.Huh first time I’ve seen it so just to be clear it’s fine to add to display and not will affect parameters and it’s slimed because of change of environment possibly stress etc ?
