SUPERMAN 09 Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 I need ship Zenia from Massachusetts to Florida. What would be the best way to pack them. Need heatpack? Thanks Link to comment
Sushi Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 hmm, i would advise you not to ship xenia, for whatever reason they're poor shippers no matter how well you prep them for shipping. more often than not, they will arrive as a bag full of smelly gooey water. if you absolutely have to ship it, package it as you would any other coral with styro/heatpacks, and keep it as insulated as you can. ship it via the fastest method possible and take ur chances from there. but i'll say it again, it'll be risky, and IF the receiver opens the box with bags full of slime, they're not going to be happy, and neither are you tell the guy he's better off finding xenia locally.

MrAnderson Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 Yeah, many online vendors don't offer a live delivery guarantee for Xenia for this reason. Many times they get really freaked out by just switching tanks. Think of how they'll react to sitting in an unheated aircraft cargo hold for 4-6 hrs in this weather if you overnight them, even with heater packs. Then they'll sit in a cold truck for at least a few hours. Then acclimation... Link to comment
TheCheat Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 just put a stamp on it's stalk, and see what happens. probably a pile of goop in the long run no matter what you do. Link to comment
apophis924 Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 when i have had xenia shipped to me it usually is atached to a rock and that rock is either embeded or surrounded by a few good size piecies of styrofoam. that keeps the the xneia undewrwater no mnatter what way the bag is turned Just be surte you have ample water in the bag.

B16A2NR Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Why doesn't the person in florida buy a frag locally? I guarantee theres someone within 5 minutes of their house with xenia in their tank. Link to comment
Undertheradar Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Might not be the kind hes lookin for. Like me, I want a Xenia that nobody around here seems to have. Giant Bali. Link to comment
Raskal311 Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 I had blue xenia shipped to me and to my surprised it was ship almost dry. Not much water at all and no heat pack or anything. But If it were me I would rubber band the rock with the xenia on it to styro so it would say under water the whole time and put some heat packs in the box. Link to comment
