For those who’ve done it tell me your secrets! Please?

best way? Best practices? Best containment methods?

I want this coral to have the best chance ever!

Pack in thick fish bag with equal amount of air and water. Place on top of packing peanuts surrounded by packing peanuts everywhere and in a newspaper, place a heat pack on top and seal box

Do Not place on bottom as if box falls, it could get damaged. You’d be surprised what happens in a cargo bay especially during turbulence and landing.
I worked for Eastern airlines and saw many disasters
Again using peanuts, have it centered and cushier so it doesn’t shift and get damaged especially being a meat coral
