I’m going to Reefaplooza in Orlando in a few weeks. Because of the distance from home (8 hours), we are going to stay over Sunday night and leave Monday morning. I know I will be purchasing coral and am worried about them being in bags that long. Is there a better way to transport them?
 
All things considered, it's not really that long. A coral shipped from an online distributor is probably going to be in a bag a similar amount of time.

Use as much water as you can and put into a styrofoam cooler with heat/cool packs as necessary (sitting in a hotel room probably doesn't require but just in case). If they have oxygen at RAP, make sure they use when packing. Otherwise, I don't think there's anything else that you'll really need to do...

Good luck! :)
