How long can coral survive in shipping

[Livebait44]

I have a over night shipment of corals that spent the day at the dreaded Memphis TN FedEx terminal, was due before noon today left Memphis at 3:30 this afternoon , 1300 miles away. Current status is delivery before noon tomorrow. My question is what should I expect , will the corals still be viable, and is this something I can do be sides the regular recommended acclimatization

My over night delivery turned in 4 day delivery, ,

I ordered corals online for the first time. 2 Zoas and 1 micromussa sent out on 7/6 and arrived today around noon. Unfortunately I had to go out of town before they arrived. I had someone put the box in a cooler part of the house but I won’t be able to unpack and acclimate until tomorrow. I’m hoping they will survive. I would like to go through the acclimation process and dip, possibly change the frags before putting them into my tank. Do you want honk I can still do all that or skip?

I had 2 Zoas and a blastomussa that spent 3 days in the shipping box before I got to it. I also had an observational tank set up for a couple of fish I was expecting. What I did was immediately put it in QT tank without dipping them as they were probably already too stressed. Waited a few days before dipping and continued to observe for a week or two then transferred to my DT. They did well.
