Given the choice of transporting corals in a damp environment or "wet" in a modest amount of water, it from you article that you would favor the damp.
If it were practical to transport coral in a large amount of well-oxygenated water, would you still favor the damp method? Specifically, I plan to move a reef tank about 8 hours by car. I plan to take about ten 6-12" colonies. I also plan to take about 50 galllons of the water from the initial tank to help start the new tank. I can keep the water well oxygenated with battery powered air pumps. Given that I plan to move the water in either case, would you recommend shipping the corals in the water (e.g., 1 coral in a bucket with ~ 3 gallons of water) or still to transport the coral damp?
Thanks for your input.
