5hrs before acclimating. Will corals be ok?

UPS dropped off the package at 10:30. I was able to start temp acclimating them right away but won't be able to open them and start drip acclimating until 3:30. Are they going to be good until another 5 hrs in the bags?

Also wasn't too happy that seller cheaped out and just used 1 small heatpack for a fairly large order so the water was pretty cold. But that's for a different day.

Some corals are more sensitive than others but you should be fine. I don’t even drip acclimate corals any more. I’m firmly in the dip and dunk camp.

Yea I dont really drip. More of a pour a quarter cup at a time from my tank 3 or 4 times and drop them in.

They'll be fine. But I would highly recommend dipping to. Simple and effective way to prevent all sorts of issues down the road.
