also wanted to put an idea out there , i have shipped all but xenia successfully this way, dry, wrapped in wet papertowels, so moist but no water to get fouled incase of delay....corals produce a protective mucous layer that protects them
What about Zoas, frogspawn, shrooms and rics? Can they survive a 2-3 trip in just moist papertowels?
