I guess if I was recieving something I'd prefer to have it triple bagged. I'm sure its cheaper weight wise to ship it with the cups.

I could care less the way its shipped as long as it gets to me healthy :) When I ship I triple bag

I like to receive them in bags, specimen cups just means its that small of a piece! lol
I think bags are cheaper, arent they?

I always ship out double bagged, then put all bags into one big bag just to be safe

If it is a small coral I ship out in specimen cups but if it is a larger coral I ship it triple bagged. Both ways work very well.

Definitely specimen cup if small, double bagged if large, triple if sharp.

I would prefer to use triple bagged all the way.
I would fear that a coral frag could be damaged by it hitting the sides of the specimen cup.

I triple bag, rubber bands aroudn the inside 2 bags and zip tie around the outside bag, specimen cups seem to work best with shipping zoas.

I know one of the tricks to prevent that from happening is to put a dab of super glue gel on the lid and just glue the frag to that, no more damaged frag:)
