ReefWorm Acclimation?

[Mike Arnold]

I've ordered some reef worms from IPSF and was wondering what was the best way to introduce them to my tank; do they need to be drip acclimated, or can I just net them and put them directly into tank?

they are pretty hardy IMO but I drip everything to be sure.

Are they bristle worms? If so you can probably just throw them in.

You might want to do a temperature acclimation although I have heard stories of them surviving in taken down tanks with 1.030 salinity in sub-freezing temps.
