These were corals that I bought online. I floated them, drip acclimated them, floated them again, dipped them for pests, and then put them in. They look good. I usually qt my corals, but my qt is totally out of whack, and I didn't want to chance losing them. They are from a trusted vendor so I went straight into the dt. I don't think I'll drip acclimate anymore. My old way is better.
