I wouldn’t float it all night, but it you must, I would open the bags so they can get air, and maybe start acclimating them to your water so that you can dilute any ammonia that may be in the bag. Might be better to set up a five gallon bucket with a heater and airstone/power head.

Probably would be ok to be floated all night(out of light). Similar to being shipped overnight they spend 16-20 hours in a bag and usually temperature is biggest issue when there are problems. Floating them should keep temp fine.

What kind(s) of coral?

I might do a bag change and put the coral in your tank water.

What type of corals are they?
You maybe able to use a drop of peroxide per pint of water as a dip to help eradicate any pest or algae.

I second this. I’ve been able to keep coral in a bucket for about 16 hours with a small pump breaking surface for aeration. Like everyone else is asking, what type of coral is it?
