That's what I figured, but do I need a heat pack if shipping next day? Man, don't you work? \

Arash, Thanks Again

I got some corals from an online place and they shipped overnight in a little syrofoam cooler you could pick up at a bait shop/sporting goods store. Double bagged each coral and put packing peanuts on top. I think it did have a heat pack but I'm not sure if it was really needed this time of year.
