im not a pro but for snails and hermits i just float them and add a little of my water to the bag... definatley acclimate the shrimp and starfish

snails need to acclimate for a while. They aer very sensitive to salinity changes.

yea ima acclimate the shrimp and starfish and crabs right now.... is it ok to acclimate snails with a coral banded shrimp? or i have 2 sally light foot crabs... they put in seperate bags.. does that mean i cant acclimate together cause they willl fight???? but ill acclimate all snails together even if in different bags... and ill do alll hermits.. blue and red in 1 bucket... then if the crabs will get along together ill do that............. can coral banded acclimate in same bucket as snails??
