Transporting sps colonies

[lngrhaul]

Why not place each colony in its own bucket of water? use some styrofoam to pack around it to keep it from moving around?? Never tried it but just a suggestion. Good luck.

My suggestion would be to get a large rubbermaid container, a 25-50W heater, and a power inverter. Transport ther coral in the container with the lid on and plug the heater into the minivan using the inverter.

I've transported corals like this over relatively short drives (1 hour), using the heater.
Not sure how well it would work over longer period though.

The cooler idea is the way to go, I have one that I use that plugs into the car that will either cool or heat. I use the heat setting then I don't have to rely on hot pads.
