Be honest do you acclimate all of the livestock that you place in your tank?

I'll go first :)

I hardly ever acclimate anything that goes into my tank and so far I have no losses from not acclimating. That includes fish, corals, crabs snails and shrimp.

edit: I do acclimate them to the temp before adding.

I acclimate everything. At least a couple of hours of drip acclimation (after temperature of course) depending on the amount of water in the bag and what it is.

I do what Ramble on Rose does. Don't know if it's absolutely necessary but it can't hurt.
