The best way is to ship them overnight.
Seriously, if you spend $15 for 2 day and the corals get there dead, then you'll not only have to ship them again and pay another $15, but you'll also take a loss on the corals you're growing. It'll be a lose lose.
You can chance it, but if you can swing the extra cash, send it overnight. With 2 day, I would not give any guarantee.

Find yourself a long-lasting heat pack. I picked up some 60 hour jobs from ebay. Pack them in a little bit of water and a wad of wet paper towels. Will be good for two days, often great for three.
The heat packs are about a dollar. Zoanthids are tough and overnight shipping is not justified unless shipping lots of money's worth, IMO.

don't ship around the holidays. Often those 2nd days are turning into 3rds and 4th's

agree with snowreefer.best thing i read so far and i had posted on one of my threads and from some experience,take a cheap thermos,from like the dollar store or something,get some heat packs if its cold out and there u go.im not sure if the heat packs go inside the thermo or outside.but what i would do is take the heat packs and ducktape them to the thermos.oh yeah and stick a damp paper towel with inside the thermos to with the zoas.dont worry about filling it with water just a damp paper towel will work.
