I am planning on purchasing a hermit crab for each of my reef jars soon. How should I go about acclimating them? Do they need to be drip acclimated for hours, or would simply scooping in water every few minutes for a half hour to an hour work? Thank you :)
 
theyre pretty hardy, you can do either of those methods. If the hermit crabs are shipped/purchased online, just temperture acclimate and put into tank.
