Shipping Acros and other SPS

[Reefguy13]

So I have been fragging some of my corals and selling locally but some stuff hasnt sold so I thought id try selling on here. I have shipped lps and zoas before but never acros. Is there anything different needed for shipping them over night? I always put my frags suspended in a sample cup and tape the lid on as well in insulated shipping boxes. I have some higher-end pieces and am just nervous about shipping them for the first time in case they die. Thoughts!?

I always used sample cups as well, worked perfectly fine, for less branchy frags you can use 4mm plastic bags doubled up to save weight. The main thing is temperature, too cold is better than too hot, and try not to have much of an air pocket that could leave part of the coral exposed if tipped upside-down. Boxes get tossed around and thrown into giant bins for transport, so pack tightly and you should be fine.

Ok thats good to know Than you. I as told you have to leave ample room for air for acros but i was confused as how to do that. I like to put them in styrofoam secured upside down to the lid so they cant get out of water that way.
