For corals, I do nothing fancy. I used to drip and it made little difference. Some of the old hands at reefs.org shared their own rule of thumb that I've been following - just take the coral out of the bag and expose it to air for a few seconds until it slimes up (a defensive reaction, I guess). Then place it in the tank - the slime layer will protect it from shock to a change in salinity/pH as it gradually sheds the mucus.
Sounds like a great way to do it.
Anybody some corals I can test with?
