How long do i acclimation zoanthids?

i temp acclimate for like 20 mins, then put em in the tank. i do this with everything (sps i dip first) then they go in the tank. no need to drip acclimate corals imo.

same here. sometimes I dip zoas if I think they may have any nasty hikers on them. but for the most part I just float them 20-30 minutes then into the tank they go.

I do this on occasion thanks to past experiences with zoo-eating nudis

fresh water I get it to the same temp and PH as my tank then dunk the colony for a minute then place directly into my observation tank to be sure no nasties survive.
