Going to a frag swap in FL this weekend and I have a couple of noob questions:

- It is about 1 hr. away from me. Can I keep a soft coral in the bag/car that long to take it home? (this will be my first purchase for my new tank)

- Are these going to be all high end corals, or will I be able to pick some up for $20-$30?

- is there anything I should be taking in case I get a couple of corals? (like a cooler)

Thanks!

Those styrophoam containers I think we all hoard, I’d take one of those if you plan to get a bunch of stuff :) that’s personally what I do lol even though I never fill it up!! You should find a spectrum of low-high end stuff

Frag swaps are usually great for lots of $10 corals. And of course more expensive ones. I just bring my insulated lunch box/bag
