FarmerTy Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Hey fellow reefers, As much as we all enjoy the sweet finds when coral shopping, I happen to run across a RBTA in Evansville, IN for an irresistible price . Pretty good sized one 3-5" expanded and bubbled up like crazy. Just wanted to share. Now to figure out how to best pack it in my luggage so nothing bad happens to my new reef inhabitant. If you've taken coral on a plane before (checked luggage) and have some advice, please feel free to add. Wish me luck! -Ty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robb in Austin Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 I think with the liquid restrictions, you're gonna hafta pack it in luggage. Which means a heat pack, styrofoam maybe, and double if not triple bagging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 I figured for sure triple bagging and hopefully finding a small rigid cooler at walmart. I wouldn't even know where to look for a small styrofoam container. It's gotta be small enough to fit in a regular suitcase (the smaller size).

JamesL Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Look at a small drink thermos with a screw on lid. Might fit the ticket. I once had a guy send me zoas in one of those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 Thanks for the advice! I didn't see the message in time or else I might have tried it. Currently, I have a happy little RBTA in my tank. I had the fish store triple bag it and then I stuffed it in a $5 walmart lunch cooler and tossed it in my luggage. Can't say it'll always work but it worked for me. I'll say the little bugger looked pretty pissed when I got him home but he survived just fine. Now to see if I can get my two little ocellaris clowns to host it. -Ty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
