Bagging & Boxing

Corals are first inspected for overall health
After inspection, corals are bagged in a clear poly bag
They are labeled by coral I.D.# that matches with your invoice
Then clipped with a high grade poly clip to ensure no leaks
Then our shipping staff checks off one coral at a time
We then group them and place them in a bigger poly bag
They are placed in a styrofoam lined box (box size depends on the number/size of corals)
Shipping peanuts are used to ensure package is stable
Shipping staff determines an ice pack, heat pack, or none depending on multiple weather factors (current location, switch hub, and final destination)
