Shipping methods.

edwing206 · May 9, 2007

When you guys trade zoas and palys how do you ship? Full bag of water?
And what shipping kind of delivery do you use? Next day, second day?
The reason I'm asking is because I want to start expanding my collection with trading.
thanks

I have shipped with a full bag of water and also having the zoa's wrapped in a papertowel dipped in saltwater. In my honest opinion the papertowel method had the best results.

i agree with that. zoas are very easy to ship.

IMO, my best way is to get those narrow/tall bags from kens fish supplies. fill it with 2 inches of water, then wrap the frag up in a wet paper towel, then put in the bag with water.

IMO i think this helps keep the frag cushioned and not sloshing around inside the bag. i cant even count the number of times i've gotten frags that have been knocked off the plugs due to rolling around and getting knocked around.

i do this for sps also, though its a bit tricker cuz if you get too much air trapped in the paper towel i think it will kill the sps frag. but i've only had this happen with 2 frags i've shipped out, out of about 50.
