Hello all! Next week I'm making a 6-hour move and plan to bring my 12 gallon nano cube with me... I was wondering how my corals should be packed for the trip.. They'll probably be packed for 8-10 hours between the trip and setting up the tank. Should I just throw them in 5 gallon buckets with tank water? Or do I need to be careful about which ones I put in the same bucket? Coral list below... Thank you for any help!

LPS
7 variety of Acans
Green trumpets (3 heads)
Emerald Eye Favia Brain
Stunner Chalice (seems really aggressive. Already zapped a mushroom)
Frogspawn (1 head)

SPS
JoL Leptoseris

Soft:
Toadstool Leather
Green Leather
Small paly colony

I was also wondering the same about inverts.
Serpent Star
2 Turbo Snails
Emeral crab
2 Nassarius Snails
 
The lps are going to be stressed and slime up a lot , you can you bag them individually and add air right before you tie the bag off , the leathers you definitely want to bag individually just in case they release toxins in the bucket , the inverse should be fine in a bucket they might try to escape try to get a lid, the one sps should be fine too
 
Thanks!!! I'm assuming I should use large bags even for the small corals? To get as much water and air in them as I can?

Get bags according to the size of the coral ,you don't want them bouncing and tossing all in the bag
