Well in fact it DOES ship well. I have gotten 2 different frags of it in the last 2 weeks. One was brought to me from a local reefer but it was bagged and in transit all day long. The other was shipped via USPS (2-3 day NOT over night) and it arrived in GREAT shape and is pulsing like crazy as I type this. meemoo shipped it and she suspended it in the bag upside down attached to a piece of Styrofoam so that it was always submerged in the water. It was pulsing IN the bag.

I think if you really took your time to package carefully chances are it could survive.

As for the "hungry polyp" I think what's happened is the Xenia has merely tried to attach itself and the polyp maybe became irritated and closed up. Like mentioned before, just find a way to separate them and chances are it will all work out in a little while for the best.
