I am receiving these today...
1 x Orangeback Basslet - 25% off!

1 x Bangaii Cardinal - Aquacultured
1 x Cleaner Clam
1 x Nassarius Snail - Group of 10

Could anyone give me acclimation times for each of these? The fish i can just go to their page and look up... but what about the crabs/clams etc....?
Thanks

you would want to acclimate the clams and crabs the same way that you would acclimate the fish...drip acclimation is the safest...IMO...

I always acclimate for 2 hours. Its the safest method... You cant really hurt anything by acclimating to long (unless it ran out of oxygen in the water) so just go long and you wont have to worry. All inverts should be drip acclimated for 2 hours at the least, as they have the hardest time adapting to salinity, pH, and temp changes.

make sure you cover your container you are dripping into if its shallow or you may find your fish on the floor
