How to package corals for a long drive?

[JuanGutz]

Okay so I'm in Orange County and I found a guy who is willing to sell me two polyps of blonde hair blue eyes B****, vivid rainbow and blue hornets for $80. How should I package these guys for a 18 drive? If not short two day drive? Thanks guys be on when I can been really busy.

Cooler with a heat pack would be my guess... Or you can ship them to yourself? :what:

Just throw them in a foam cooler maybe add a bottled water or 2 and call it good

make sure your cooler is at least room temp as well.

cut off the stem from the plug and glue the frag disk to the top of the peecup and fill it all the way. The coral will stay submerged and stable. Foam box and as some suggested those hand warmers or what not.

Place in a Styrofoam cooler with some In and Out burgers in it to keep it at the right temp.
Have a safe trip back.

Not sure if a dip is the way to go ATM! W the duration of your drive home 18yrs correct? There a bit stressed! I'd start them in med flow and low light!

 

[JuanGutz]

Haven't dipped yet bought some revive and this recover stuff so im dossing that for now. See how it goes :/ everything looks really ****ed still maybe 3 polyps total opened. Gonna baby the though and I know they can pull through!!

 

[JuanGutz]
