What is the best way to acclimate Tuxedo urchins which have been overnight shipped? I've read drip acclimation is recommended but don't know if this applies to shipped specimens due to ammonia concerns.

What's the salinity it was shipped in? If its within a point of your salinity then float bag and place inside tank. If its off by a few points then i would drip acclimate until the salinity matches your tank water.
Thanks. I was researching since I have a shipment coming today and saw several recommendations to drip for an hour or two. Normally ammonia is an issue with shipped livestock but they claimed this was not such an issue with urchins.
Yeah ive never acclimated inverts. Float and dump.
But ive never had them shipped to me either.
