That's a good question, I have alwayd had my wife deliver things to FedEX :lol: It's not uncommon to ship liquids though. I have raised eyebrows shipping firearms but that another story. I wouldn't worry about it, you can always call your local UPS store or Kinko FedEX and ask the question. No harm there...

From the USPS website
9.3.3 Small Cold-Blooded Animals
Small, harmless, cold-blooded animals (except snakes and turtles) that do not require food or water or attention during handling in the mail and that do not create sanitary problems or obnoxious odors are mailable (e.g., baby alligators and caimans not more than 20 inches long, bloodworms, earthworms, mealworms, salamanders, leeches, lizards, snails, and tadpoles).
Remember no caimans :lol:

Just in case you need to mail some Live Scorpions see below
9.3.9 Live Scorpions
Live scorpions that are to be used for medical research or the manufacture of antivenin are accepted only in the continental surface mail when packaged in a double mailing container, both parts of which are closed or fastened to prevent escape of the scorpions. The inner container must be of material that cannot be punctured by the scorpions and must be plainly marked "Live Scorpions." Cushioning material must be used when necessary to prevent shifting of the inner container. The outer container must be strong enough to prevent crushing of the package or exposure of the contents during normal handling in the mail. The outer container must be plainly marked "Live Scorpions."
OK I'm done
You're fine, just mail them.

No, there's no need to declare what you're shipping. This is common practice and shipping liquids is no concern through fedex. Depending on the coral, you can ship them wrapped in damp paper towels to save a lot of weight when shipping, but this is probably better after a bit of experience shipping.
