Shipping corals across and around the country is a feat that is performed thousands of times per day but it wasn’t always so, and it wasn’t always a great outcome. In the last twenty years the hobby has grown collectively more experienced at relocating our precious polyps across state lines and time zones but these are primarily frags, and there’s still a lot of tricks and precautions that can be made to ensure not just a live arrival, but also a great condition of the coral when it gets to the reef hobbyist.
As we all know coral colonies have varying degrees of toughness in their growth forms, moon brains are basically living stones while thin branchingAnacropora如此精致,以至于您很难在运输中没有一些松散的分支。在两者之间的某个地方,有肉质的幼体,狐狸珊瑚,果胶和泡沫珊瑚,如果他们要到达而没有任何擦伤或骨骼撕裂,则需要额外的温柔水平。
Most dealers will probably be familiar with the challenge of shipping果皮but for us the white whale has beenbranchingbubble corals真的反应不佳任何运输或水族馆邻居造成的损害。擦拭袋子的丝毫撕裂或磨损通常会导致感染或某种经济衰退,这对于任何新的珊瑚都不是在您的水箱中开始生命的好方法。
One way to protect corals and frags is to offer them some kind of ‘cage’ to protect against shipping damage and while we’ve seen frags inserted into small plastic condiment cups, we just received a branching bubble from Lucky Corals shipped secured into a larger cup and it couldn’t be in better condition. Not only does the coral not show any sign of shipping damage or stress, it was so undisturbed that the polyps are even partially extended which is unheard of with this delicate species.
We couldn’t be more pleased with the condition of this colony upon arrival as we’ve had some really mediocre experiences with trying to obtainPlerogyra simplex身体健康。多亏了一些额外的照顾和努力幸运的珊瑚,这个标本有最好的机会,可以很好地定居在其新的礁石水族馆之家中huge branching colonieswe’ve observed in the wild.
