I have someone interested in some of this coral but am wondering if 2 day USPS shipping would work? Yes USPS I know, it usually turns out fine. Temps will be mid 80's early week, near 70 mid week. Shipping next day is not worth the cost of shipping for one frag IMO.........please just let me know what you think about 2 days..........more water? Thank you!

No way. Sorry. Usps is notorious for not delivering ontime for the first strike. And poc wont live 2 days and if they do live, they will be highly stressed when they get in.

2 day shipping + USPS = trouble

i'd say the chances of survival are 50/50

I have shipped pocillopora to locations that took 2 days without any problems. Make sure there is plenty of water and it stays cool.
