acclimate or not

Im getting ready to pick up a brain corral, and a colony of zoo's. Just wondering if I need to drip acclimate these or not.

You should always acclimate, just to decrease stress in livestock.
Drip- acclimation is not needed for corals, but it all depends how far off your parameters in ur tank are from the water parameters in the corals tank.
The farther off, the longer the acclimation process should be.

I wouldnt say you have to drip, but take it nice and slow over an hour.

I guess it's better to err on the side of caution but I have never done anything more than temp acclimate my brain corals and was told by a zoa expert to take the zoas and put them right in the tank which I have always done. All my corals are great?
