Shipping Rock With Corals


~LadyBug~

Recommended Posts

I've got a rock with ricordia, yuma and mushrooms that I need to ship; it's small, 6-8 inches by 6 inches, probably a pound or less. But I'm worried about it poking through bags and it's too big for something like a jar.

 

Any ideas? What does everyone else do when shipping coral rocks?

double bag with thick gauge plastic bags

 

or cut up a ziplock back and losely wrap the rock with the plastic before putting it inside the bag with water. double bag that for extra protection.

Good idea to cut up the bag. Thanks! I'm definitely double/triple bagging :D

Wrap the rock in heavy duty non printed paper towels before wrapping it in plastic.

I thought about that, it's what I do with macro algae, but I wasn't sure how the corals would like it...

Zoas and shrooms do fine. I've recieved zoas just wrapped in wet paper towels before that did just fine with no real water in the bag.
