    Like said above. A lot of corals are out of water for half a day during low tides. A little while during water change won't hurt. I had mushrooms out for a day that were ok.

    LOL man when I was able to work at the shop I would do all my fragging on Monday and wed and Thurs , I have often clipped off some branches for placing on plugs and a pump would mess up or phone would go off I have honestly put several acros up on the shelf above the work sink and table and forgot about them till late afternoon and once or twice over night and they would slime up but they where all good to go in a few days . I left a bubble out one day and it was fine .

    Thats when I started to talking to a few collectors I know and they told me they always ship dry and I started to myself with some trusted customers and its never been a problem and the shipping weight and box space savings are huge .
