double bagged double rubber banded also if you're going to use a styrofoam box packing peanuts are a necessity not so much a shipping pro as a moving pro in progress ha a great method for the coral is to rubberband the frag to a piece of styrofoam and then place it upside down in the water... this way it floats, its always underwater, and no damage will come its way

yea i totally second the foam ALSO VERY IMPORTANT add a small amount of carbon in a small micron net, this was told to me by a VERY seasoned pro in shipping it will help keep the slime off the coral and keep the water nice
