Will they survive ?

[BMan]

i just received shipment from a Florida company who shall remain nameless. They shipped ground and it took 3 days to get here. The water in the shipping bags was 45 degrees F. Will they survive. I'm floating them in sealed bags in water that is also 45 degrees and slowly raising the temp to match my tank.

Upload pictures when you can, that will help us. Raise the temperature slowly but don't take too long (there's a fine line) with other acclimations as the water is probably quite nasty. If it is, you may want to just dip them and add them to avoid any more time in disgusting water.

Won't that just shock them further? I don't have anything to dip in besides hydrogen peroxide.

Wooooow. Following along in case it ever happens. Sorry about your luck

Is a peroxide did worth doing. Will it remove pests ? Will it hurt the already stressed corals ?

What coral types were they?

I'm not sure what they sent. They were free. An apology for sending live rock that had a lot of die off.

I know two are Zoa...

 

[Tahoe61]

Palys
Favia vs Goniastrea perhaps
Zoanthid
Zoanthid

They do not look to bad.

I'm expecting them to be already covered in necrosis in the bags, I'll be astounded if any are in decent health.

The first one kind of remind of an acan colony.

Yeah after looking at it it looks more like an LPS.

Slowly bring there temp up as far as dipping them I would say yes definitely

First one is likely a Dipsastraea, formerly known as Favia, second one could be Goniastrea, or leptoseris it's hard to tell. Others are Zoas they look okay. The other two seem to have tissue but look on their way out.
