Does this need to be soaked before placing in tank

Yes, I would recommend soaking the wood for several days if not weeks. Soaking it before placing in tank insures it won't float but more importantly helps release the tannins in the wood. Not harmful to most fish but your tank water will look like tea until it's completely leached out. I soak all my drift wood for 2 weeks (outside in a cooler) AND boil in water for several hours. This releases most all of tannins and kills any critters or bacterial hiding in the wood.

If I boil it still need to be soak?

Hello, You can wash and clean the wood, then boil it until the color of the water does not deepen. You can put it into the aquarium. Thank you :)

What is the measurement of the wood?

The small size goes up to 5.9 inches. The large size ranges between 5-9 inches

The size specifications are very vague. What are the measured inches size ranges for the small = $8.95, the medium = $12.99, and the large = $17.95?

Hello, Small- approx 5 inch in length Medium - approx 9 inch in length Large - approx 11 inch in length
