How do I prepare an Acro to go in the tank?

I typically get my corals from sources that are trusted. I do examine the piece in the store

Yeah I've bought a couple and just put them in the tank, but I figure I should be more careful. I'd hate to end up with a problem that could be easily prevented. I'm not really sure what exactly to look for when examining the coral though.

If I get them from a reliable source, I just acclimate them and then place them towards the bottom of the tank. Then I acclimate them to the lighting of their tank position (about a week).
If I'm not comfortable of the source, I give them a dip in Seachem Reef Dip and have a good look with a magnifying glass, then they either go into the display or into QT.
