shipping corals?

[snowmansnow]

what is the best way to ship SPS corals. I have more frags than I can manage right now and would like to sell some (starting to get frags from my previous frags haha).

what I'm asking about is packaging...

how do YOU do it?

Box lined with blue foam board for insulation them lined with another larger bag. Bag corals and place inside using newspaper to brace the bags. This time of year I would use a slow release heat pack wrapped in newspaper with two layers and attached away from the corals. That will change depending on the temps.

Small cardboard box, cut out out a liner in Styrofoam, all sides, top and, bottom. Double or triple bag the frags. Once the frags are bagged and put into the box tape some shipping heat packs to the lid seal the box and ship it fedex over night. Best way IMO.

Forgot to mention. If you are shipping to Atlanta from Centre you can probably get away with priority. It will normally arrive next day being this close. I'm fixing to ship coral to someone in middle Ga using that method. I have also recieved corals from Macon area using that same method. Otherwise use next day
