Most soft corals and polyps have the ability to produce a slime like substance to coat themselves with that will slow the drying out process.

Another way to think about it is that anything that is in your tank has already at one point in time or another already been exposed to the air at least once during the process of collection/propagation and the various tanks of wholesalers and retailers before it arrived at your tank.
