Well I think what you do is find a bigger thermos, or if you have one of those metal coffee cups.. you would insulate the inside of the cup with a baggy, and double bag so it does not leak. Check out that original link provided by Sushi (thank you for that) It is a great idea.. and you would be able to pack all 4 in one go. To be extra safe, I would probably use 3 baggys to make darn sure there is no leaking, and I wuold then duct tape the lid on super tight on the coffee cup.

Actually part of the arguement for "dry" shipping is that the coral will use up any available oxygen in the water and foul it up as well (sloughing tissue/mucous etc.) Then it has to sit in its own crap for the rest of the time its being shipped, resulting in a really ticked off coral when it arrives. By shipping without water, yet in a moist environment, the coral simply acts as if its "low tide" and is prepared for this. Granted it can't spend forever in this environment, but it usually arrives in far better condition.

Let me tell you a horror story about shipping. A couple of years ago I bought $200.00 worth of zoos from Canadian Reef (no longer around)
 He shipped them using a courier that guaranteed delivery by 10:00 AM the next day. Of course they were sent to the wrong place, and the shipper had to drive a long way to pick them up, and resend them  When they finally arrived a day later, some of the zoos had fallen of the rocks they were glued onto. They did not look at all like the pictures he had on his website.  He replaced a couple of them, but when they arrived the temperature in the bag was 15 degrees C. One of them was dead, and the other took a very long time to recover. I am thinking that maybe a thermos sent expresspost would be better.

hahah I am just taking a lot of precaution as I have never shipped out corals before. But if we use the dry/moist method i don't have to worry about so many bags
