do you think zoas will survive after being in the cold water temp for like 10hrs?

i would say probably about 50 or may be less due to delayed shipment

I've had paly/zoas shipped to me once and they got delayed, most lived but the water was freezing when I got them. Depending how hardy the species is they may or may not.
Hope you get lucky an make sure you temp acclimate them well.

If they're Darth Mauls then kiss them good bye, any other will most likely be OK.

Yeah I just floated them then but them in when the lights were off. You may not have that option but I'm not sure that even helped. If you want to float longer, I don't think it'll hurt either. Good luck!

I forgot some zoas in a sealed jar next to my tank for something like 36 hours. They were open and leaning towards the light - in the jar - when I eventually remembered they were there.
