Hi all!
My first Acro frag is expected to arrive this Friday from Cherry Corals (along with a few other frags, including a Porite), and I was looking to learn what the acclimation process should be.
I've read a bunch of posts in this great forum with varying suggestions, but none I could find that really answered:
1) is it safe to dip Acros (and Porite) before placing in the tank? I use Coral RX and Lugol's
2) do shipped Acros need to be light acclimated, or can they go right to their permanent spot?
I will temp acclimate by floating the bags in my tank with lights off before doing anything.
My tank is established, and I already have a few "easy" SPS and LPS in there with all doing well (knock on wood), but this would be my first Acro.
