Excellent information. Also, for those considering shipping fish, don't forget to fill the bag with oxygen before you tie it.

What if one doesn't have O2?

Well Done, Myka.

Sometimes those styro discs don't have to be that big. It all depends on the size of the coral/frag. Otherwise, a very good ilustration on how to ship livestock.

Ya, Styro disks great Idea. My Xenia was upside down at the bottom of the bag when I got it from Greyhound. Didnt survive

This is a good idea. I've never put oxygen in a bag, and haven't had troubles shipping fish, but I haven't sent fish any further than about 12 hours in transit. I added this to the "guide" though.

I find if the disk is about the same size as the bag, then it doesn't slosh around in the bag. It is much more stable, and seems to ship better. I added this explanation to the guide.

Excellent information Myka. Thank you!

I agree... this should be a sticky!

You're very welcome! Feel free to send me some frags to practise your packing!
