    you will want to acclimate them I acclimate mine for approx an hour. I pour a half of cup of water into the bag every 20 minutes and then just set them somehwere on your LR you want to make sure they have a good base on them so they dont fall or float all over your tank. if they do not have a good base superglue them to some base rock and then set them in the tank.

    hope this helped

    it really depends on the type pf coral your hard you can supper glue or epoxy i use epoxy. the softs you might need to sow to the rock or use a tooth pick. alot of the tine the corals will be attached to a rock and you can just use epoxy.

    I float a bag on the water for 15-20 min. If you're unsure if you can trust your seller, an appropriate dip for unwanted hitchhikers may be the best idea before adding to the system. For softies, sewing them to your LR, rubberbanding them, or using a toothpick as mentioned seems to work well. For sps frags, simple gel superglue is awesome(apply a gob outside the water to the sps base and quickly set into a good porous place on the LR and hold still for about 30 seconds). Larger sps colonies will need a reef epoxy.
    There's nowhere else I'ld rather be... unless, of course, you're buying
