  • 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)
