dropped the ball on an overnight shipment. I had 10 acro frags coming in and their plane had an issue which Im pretty sure means they just messed up. Has anyone seen corals make it after the second day?

Assuming the shipper used a 48 hour heat pack, there is a chance that they'll be ok. I had an acro delayed an extra day, but it arrived alive and well. I hope your shipment makes it to you safely

yes, i had a shipment get delayed 2 days and they still all survived. i was very worried and i acclimated them as normal and still did well. I also had a fish delivery do the same thing and they also survived. but other times i had them delivered on time with casualties so it is a case by case scenario but most places will replace any losses for free.

Depends
Depends on how they were packed, temperature of where they are stuck, the temperature of where you live and the biggest unknown is how have they been handled by the shipping company. But yes coral can make it a few days.

At least it is stuck somewhere warmer.... Hopefully it was properly packed and you should be OK.

Notify the shipper and take pics before you unbag.
Possibility they will be okay.
