Cups or Bags - Buying Coral Online

[ReefStable]

Another question for the greater group!

When you buy coral online, do you prefer coral to arrive in cups, bags, cups in bags, bags in cups, something else entirely?

Personally, it depends a little on what kind of coral, but I'm mostly indifferent. I know some people have a strong preference though. Let me know what you prefer! If you have the time, let me know why as well

I like cups because I reuse them. It helps a lot to have foam or something stabilize the coral in the cup too. Bags are okay though too if proper size and thickness are used.

One of the larger online coral vendors I order from does the cups in bags. I feel like the cups are more "professional" if that means anything. I also think they protect the corals better. I also think they are less prone to leaking, which I have had happen to some bags before. That being said, I don't have any issues if a vendor uses bags. Like you Imp kind of indifferent
