What to bring to Reefapalooza

[tcarstens4]

Hello, my family and I are going to reefapalooza dallas, we are wondering what to do about bringing corals home to Nebraska, do vendors ship to you or do we need to bring coolers with heaters air stones ect? What do vendors like WWC do? I saw they have a booth as well as other coral vendors.
Thanks!!

Bring a couple small styro boxes which you can take with you on aircraft. Also bring heat or cold packs based on your area temps. You MUST bring your own styro regardless as seldom are they furnished

Do flights allow water in styrofoam as carryon? Or counting on checking in?

Carry on if it fits under seat or over head otherwise check-in baggage

I only know one person who has gone through security with corals. They used small tupperware containers and let TSA know as they were going through. The agents all got excited and wanted to see.
