YA when they are in a pod form you can just drop them in the salt water it won't kill them.......

You actually do have to acclimate mangroves to higher salinities slowly. They prefer brackish water but will grow fine in full salt. You will also need to wipe off their leaves on a regular basis. They expell the salt through their leaves...no need for me to ramble on...check out the link below

ah CRAP

I've already added mine into my overflow, from what I'd read as long as they'd come in this form, they could be added direct, and it seems that some can't, but some also can. it's not really specific that red mangroves need to always be heavily and carefully acclimated, and that sometimes they'll do okay. I've had them in there, so I'm not really sure - do I risk it, or do I try to fiddle? Meh
