Different corals have different needs. Any shipping of corals is going to make them stress. The longer they stay in their own waste, the more damage it can do. Also you have to factor in heating/cooling needs so they don't cook/freeze.

I have had zooas shipped via priority express, but I wouldn't recomend it.

People have had success doing Zoos with priority, but the longer it takes, the more risk.

Ill put it this way. You dont want to know how hot it gets in those trucks. If its turns out well, you probably got lucky.

Yeah I wouldnt reccomend shipping any livestock anyother way then overnight.

I would try a thermos if you do.
