Arrow head crab acclimation

[Chrishvacman]

Do i need to slow drop an arrow head crab like i do my star fish etc? I realize that the star fish cant handle the salinity change i drip stars for 4 to 5 hrs but how about the crab i recently acquired a large arrow head and dont want to lose him.

Generally a good idea to slow acclimate all corals and inverts if there is a large difference in the source water and your tank water.

Well i did a slow drop acclimation, he seems to be settling in nicely.
