Acclimating Inverts

Words around the net always scare people, making them underestimate the ability and strength of the oceanic life form.

I've never done if with corals either. Brought an aussie gold torch home yesterday, floated for about 10 minutes and dumped it in. Fully out in 5 minutes, doing great.
For acros, I'll pull them out of the bag and sit them out dry for a few minutes so they build a slime coat, then right in the tank.

I've never drip acclimated anything either. No patience.
I figure with the amount of livestock etc going through LFS I would hope that snails or corals would be alot happier in my water than LFS water.
