A good thread on one way to ship...
http://www.zoosrus.com/forums/showth...4&threadid=931 Depending on the weather conditions... Personally, I think Shipping Zoos dry with saltwater moistened, CLEAN, papertowel in a pressurized bag, then put into a styrofoam + heatpack if neccessary. is better than using water in a pressurized bag. Seems to be gentler on the Zoo for acclimatization purposes. Zoos are hardy and can be out of the water for hours in their natural environment. Lots of people use thermoses to protect their zoos but it might be overkill. HTH.

Send zoos completely out of water???
 I don't know if I would risk that, as the person receiving the zoos may be extremely disappointed if they are dead. My questions are... because I am such a noob to shipping corals... where od you take the package to be sent out!? lol... just to the post office?

I never said anything about completely drying them off, clearly that would not be a smart thing to do.
That is interesting... sorry, I guess I just made this weird assumption that like most corals and livestock we keep should be kept in water..
