I was wondering why you don't acclimate anemones or corals? I acclimated my anemone and my zoa's and both are doing great. Of course i didn't know you weren't supposed too or i woul dhave. I was just wondering why you aren't supposed too? Thanks

Where did you hear/read that you are not suposed to acclimate corals or anemones? Do you mean drip acclimation? Most only temperature acclimate their corals and some QT their corals.

I quess its OK to drip them but you dont need to...unlike fish, they only take in new water as they are opening up. Do temp and maybe light acclimate though.
