Serpent star acclimation

[BContos]

How do y’all acclimate your serpent stars?

I purchased one online that will be delivered tomorrow. I will be at work but have cameras that will show me when it is delivered and I’m 5 minuets away at work. I will have about an hour and a half lunch break and just trying to get the best game plan for it

Best bet is to first match the salinity of your tank with that the star is being shipped in. then, acclimate for temperature and pH by gradually mixing water. Avoid undue physical contact that might make them throw legs, and don't pull them out of the water.
