corals in checked bags allowed?

[vijaym85]

within the U.S. is it ok to carry my corals in my checked luggae on a domestic flight?

It should be, I know when we flew to HI a few weeks a go we brought liquids along with us in the checked bags.

yes I have done that on my last 5 flights. On more than one occasion they have opened the package to see what was inside. I would make sure your outer container was water tight and made to open and close.

wha's the scoop on that--I was planning on visiting a reefer in Buffalo and making some purchases at their recommended lfs?

I would GUESS bringing them into the U.S. is more higly watched then leaving with them as it then becomes a matter for that country's laws and regulations.

despite what anyone says on here you need to contact customs or the airline and find out what the policy is

Alaska had a 2 oz max policy when I flew back in Oct. I was kind bummed, but the xenia and torch made it in the bag O.K.
