Green Star Polyps, can they be ship 'damp'?

[plc001]

Was thinking of shipping some priority mail (2-3 days)

What do you think?

I just got GSP today! There super duper hardy and I just found that out today. What happened was that there was a hole in the bag that was holding the gsp so when it arrived part of it was sticking out of water. Thats not the end of it...Also the water was super cold because I guess the insolation wasnt that great. But after crossing my fingers, its still alive =)

Also, this was 2-3day shipping so im sure you would be fine with that. As for 'damp' do you mean you want to wrap a wet towel around the frag? If it were me, I wouldnt try it.

My heater in my first nano at the office wents nuts a few years ago.....The temp was 95 degrees when I can in that mourning....The only survivour......The mighty GSP!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm doing a test.

Put a small frag wrap in paper towel and then in a plastic bag. Its now sitting on a box. Will see what happens.

sit it out side too, then....and i would kick it every couple hours to simulate the brutal truth of shipping...

Personally i dont think it is a good idea to stress the poop out of the poor little guy like that though...tough as nails though they may be..

Believe me I understand, but if we could share our captive GSPs, assuming they can recover from the shipping stress, GSP all over would be better of;-)

LOL.... let us know if it works. Funny how Nano says to kick it around...... reminds me of Jim Carey as the UPS guy in Pet Detective.

Where are you thinking of shipping them to PLC?
Florida is the only warm spot in the US right now...
