For SPS I just temp acclimate then remove the coral from the bag long enough to let it slime up and drop it in. Light acclimation is done very slowly over the course of weeks.

	SPS Small Polyped Scleractinians - Sometimes known as Small Polyped Stony corals. These are hard corals that have extremely small polyps. They are typically on the difficult side and require Metal Halide lighting or dense Power Compact or T5 arrays. These corals are prized for their rareness and ability to be easily fragged into multiple colonies.

I abuse grown ass men too....lol...Not really Hulk Hogan slam but if I know the water is similiar to mine I just put it in...I have acclimated fish before but never had to for corals...I feel it really doesn't do much I keep a almost zero nirtate enviroment...And I've never had a coral not open the first 6 hrs.. Even the nurse Bob ones....

It seems like a 50/50 thing. Some people drip acclimate corals while the others just temp acclimate only. So will continue to temp acclimate. I temp acclimate all my corals and they are doing fine. But some people advise against that. Someone shoud do a survey.
