Can a large torch and zoanthid colony survive two day shipping?

I was wondering if these corals are hardy enough to survive two days in transit (possibly three). Thanks for your reply

Depends on the packaging. I've had zoas in transit for 2 days and no problems.

zoos should be fine, but it's tough enough getting euphyllias to arrive in good shape with overnight, I wouldn't try 2 day with them.
