Hello im new here and relatively new to the hobby about a year in.
so recently ive been wanting to ship coral frag on ebay. specifically zoas i have some prettyones id like to frag and sell.
from what ive read i think the best way is with the specimen cup/foam but im afraird the frag can detach and hit the bottom of the cup and smash the zoas, valid concern?
additionally im confused about cold vs heat packs, what are the cutoff temps that i should use one or the other.
for example if checking the weather and itll be under 60 then you need a cold pack,whats the rule of thumb?
also is there a way a heat pack with burn the zoas?
should i leave air in the bag while packing or just water?
what is the best and cheapest place to buy boxes/styrofoam coolers lining/urine cups and heat/cold packs?
are there any things i should know or im overlooking?
any experienced shippers input is greatly appreciated. :smile:
