Eric,
I just finished reading your article in Reefkeeping on shipping of corals dry. VERY FASCINATING!
I will have to keep that in mind next time I buy a coral from a LFS an hour or two from home. I'll have to request it be bagged dry and just watch the look on the face of the retailer. Maybe I'll have to bring a printout of your article, just to back me up.
Anyhow, I was wondering if the same principles regarding success of shipping corals dry may also apply to the shipping of live rock.
I have bought rock from LiveAquaria.com once. It was shipped in styrofoam, wrapped in wet newspaper. It seemed to come through very well.
What are your thoughts?
