Learn How To Ship Corals HERE

Shipping corals is one of the main challenges of operating an online-based business. Corals by their very nature are fragile, and shipping them across the country is a highly stressful event. It is also very expensive so it is not something we want to be messing up. Hopefully, this video will give everyone an idea of how we package our corals.

Amazon, Its closed cell foam. Any kind would work but the 1/2" seems to be the best to lock the corals into place.

I don't think it makes a lot of difference for coral, but for fish or inverts you want almost half the bag to be air.
Thanks! That'll help save a little space in the cooler, and maybe minimize sloshing around.
