Acclimation help

[Shanna349]

Would anyone happen to know the acclimation time of a pink tip anenome?
I read somewhere that its temp only, but I get nervous just sticking them in after 30 minutes without a 2-3 hour drip.

For all organisms, slow acclimation by replacing bag water with tank water is best. It's more important when doing this with, say, starfish or other echinoderms compared to anemones, but it doesn't hurt to go slow. I would do the drip if possible, or at least add a cup of tank water into the bag every 5 minutes for 1/2 and hour.

thanks
yeah I just cant throw the poor thing in there.

It's been in the bag for almost two hours now, and I've replaced over three cups.

I think he's good to go.

Ya thats good. Go ahead and place him in a well lighted area with plenty of flow around it near a rock.

I just added a Rose BTA last night after I let the water temps adjust I added 10-15ML of tank water every 5-10 mins for an hour then 15-30ML for 30 mins then added him to the tank
