Coral Transportation

[TheGreenReefer]

Hello!
I'm planning a vacation to florida so I can go to reefapalooza this April and I'm wondering how everyone transports their corals. I'm flying in and plan on flying back the day after it ends. How do people pack them, keep the temp stable, and bring them on flights?

Thank you!

If I was flying home, I'd ask the seller to ship them to me.

Given the choice I'd also prefer the seller to ship them to me, however that might get expensive if you like to shop around and buy for 10 different vendors. I've not flown with coral myself yet, so interested to hear how it's gone for other people. I imagine the zen reef coral transport cups or something similar in a small carry on cooler would be a good option, but have no idea how the airports would react. Make sure they are less than 3.4 oz! haha

Try contacting TSA or the airline and ask.

Just ship them all together before you leave
