In a few months I am going to be driving back to Florida while I am there I am looking at getting some coral frags. I am wondering if it is possible for me to get them and drive them home it will be about a 14 hour drive. Any words of wisdom?

It's definitely possible! Just get a cooler to carry them in and wrap their containing bags in newspaper and packing peanuts to assist insulation. People ship all the time and I'm sure the mail carrier is a lot less gentle than you would be. :)

They will be fine if you keep them in an insulated cooler & are well packed. Corals usually spend close to 2 days packed up when they are imported from overseas.

And in case you happen to pick up a fish or two, just add a battery operated air stone. About $10 online.
