I have set up a 10 gallon Nuvo tank and want to transfer the majority of the corals from my 5 gallon nano to the 10.

How difficult is this to accomplish ? Do I just handle it the way I would if I brought them home from an LFS ? (Acclimating them to temp in the new tank, doing a dip, etc.)

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks !

Acclimate them as you would if you just purchased them and introduce under low or blue light

if the water temperature and parameters are the same, is acclimation really necessary?
Kind of what I was thinking. I transferred two of them today and floated them in cups for 10 minutes. Placed them in the tank and they pretty much opened as full as they were in the other tank almost immediately.
