Bingo.
For any inverts I reccomend drip acclimation...float the bag for 15-20 minutes until temps of the bag water and your display match. Then empty the contents of the bag into a bucket (or in our case we use a 5 gallon fish tank). Get about 5 or 6 feet airline tubing and knot one end, but not super tight...start a syphon from your display into the bucket/smaller tank and let it drip through the knot about 2-4 drips per second. When the volume of the water doubles in the small bucket/tank take out half and continue to drip until the water volume doubles again...this whole process should take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour....then you can release the inverts into your display (or quarantine etc)....
it seems like a really long, drawn out process....but it's worth it in the end.
Hope this helps!
