Please make sure to take a styro box or a cooler with you to pick up your inverts. If you have it, also bring a heat pack wrapped in paper to put with them to simulate their shipping container, ESPECIALLY if you have any distance to travel with them.
Here are the acclimation instructions from Keys Critters. Please make sure to follow these when acclimating your inverts.
All inverts are acclimated to 1.025 @ 78F.
We pack and ship inverts dry. Before you receive your shipment have a
container ready with "old" salt water (this can be out of your current
system) that is adjusted to 1.025 @ 78F and well aerated. That is a measure
of specific gravity and the measurement is temperature dependent.
Float the bags in this water for aprox 15-20 min to adjust for temperature,
then just open the bags, rinse in aged water, and release the inverts into
the container.
