    So I am about to place an order from Saltcritters.com, but I am hesitant about purchasing corals online and having them shipped.

    Unfortunately, the shipment would arrive at my work around 10:30am, but I don't leave until at least 4pm each day. Will the corals be ok sitting in my office for the whole day?

    Granted I'm sure they are better off in a heated office than in a cold truck or UPS warehouse, but is there any real risk of losing them?

    I've always wanted a dragon soul favia! Keeping them at work for 6 hours may void the live arrive Guarantee thats the only think i can see. I doubt a couple of hours makes a huge difference but who knows!

    Yea, their arrive alive guarantee extends until 2 hours after you get them...

    Also, give me about a year and I might be able to send a frag your way
