Euphyllia stuck in mail

[beehive124]

So, my frogspawn got delayed in the mail today. I’m guessing it won’t get to me until tomorrow. Would it be ok, or will it more than likely not make it? Has anyone had this happen with a euphyllia? I’ve had it happen with zoas and other lps and they were all fine, but I know euphyllia are more sensitive.

Really depends on where you ordered it from and the weather and the like where you are, how healthy it was when it shipped etc. Some places do a great job and have a good survival chance. Other places not so much. I've had torches survive two days before, but its 50/50 IME.

Really depends on the weather and quality of shipping materials and handling IMO

Ye it’s f****** cold where I live, so I’m a bit worried, but I think it’s gonna come down to how long the heat pack they put in there lasts. I’ve ordered from these guys before and they do a great job packaging and what not. They always send me healthy corals, I’m just hoping the heat pack lasts long enough

Yeah the cold would be my biggest concern. Most places seem to use the 40 hour heat packs so good chance it will go alright I think. Good luck and hope it comes in healthy!
