Going to be in a hotel tomorrow, going to Reefapalooza, if I wanted to buy corals on 4/20 and keep them overnight, what’s the best course of action. Should I keep them in the bags, or should I bring a 5 gallon bucket with an aerator or small pump ? Not too far out of Orlando so it is not a far drive back after I go on Sunday.

Any experience in this would be appreciated.

I would use a bucket with air stone better than keeping them in bags . Maybe some heater and take some of your reef water with you in the bucket that has a good lid. This is only my opinion other members might chime in

A lot of vendors will be willing to hold corals over the weekend so you can take them home on Sunday. I suggest you ask if they provide that service before you buy anything from them though haha. The bucket method also works, but might do in more sensitive SPS/acros.
