How to ship dendros and duncans...?

[Ding2daDong]

I am looking to buy a colony of dendros as well as a colony of ducans and want to make sure they are packaged properly for the journey. Should they be flipped upside down with styrofoam on the bottom? I would really appreciate the help.

Thanks

I think that the method you describe is best for any small frag as it prevents the corals tissues from being abrased by the bag during shipping... this does not work well in larger specimins but for the average Dendro or Duncan colony I would not ship them any other way

The floating technique works best for fragile colonies. All but the largest pieces could go in just a liner IMO
