Default Dry Shipping Method

This is an artical by Eric Borneman (my hero) detailing his experiments with various shipping methods. You may be surprised to know that he had most success shipping corals wrapped in wet paper. I will be applying his findings to my handling and acclimation of corals. If nothing else, it's an interesting read.

It's nothing super new, but more often than not hobbiests do not like to receive corals this way... There are only a few inverts that don't ship well like this (anemone's come to mind).
