How to acclimate zoos?

Just wondering what is the best method of acclimating zoos. Just like you would fish? or is there a better way that would help ensure that the zoos make it? Any tips or tricks? Thanks!

I like to do a dip on all of my zoas and then a very hasty acclimation. I'm sure the dip stresses them like crazy anyways......they are pretty darn resiliant overall!

I'd recommend a prophalactic dipping of the zoos. There's no telling what parasites are on there that you don't want in your display tank. Go to the zoo board, there's a recipe for zoo dip pinned to the top of the board. It's very easy.
