Transporting Coral

[ptrusk]

I need to transport some corals about an hour away by car. Some colonies of chalice, stylophora, monti caps, anacropora, mushrooms on rocks. I do not want to bag individually. They are all too large anyway. I am thinking just put them in the Styrofoam boxes that I have a plethora of from online orders with water and tape them shut. I am concerned about the sloshing on the trip beating the tick out of them. I also have empty salt buckets with lids I could use.

Am I over thinking this? Should I use just enough water to cover them of fill container to minimize sloshing?

Help me!!!!

When I've had to transport larger coral, in addition to bagging them separately, I put bubble wrap around the bags so they didn't get damaged if they hit the side of the cooler.

*If you still don't want to bag them, I'd do one per cooler and line the cooler with bubble wrap.
