U r 1st in line. I would antipate the box and water to weigh in at no more than 10 lb. In full disclosure it looks like two pieces are attached to the rock so it might come off that way. Secondly, I do not claim to be an expert at packing so that is a risk you will need to assume, so you may end up with multiple pieces depending how they handle the box.

Let me know as I have four other people asking.

Theses hippers out of their mind. UPS SUPER SAVER was the most expensive. Average is $80 (more than the coral). This is disgusting what they charge for a small package

I personally always complain about $40 from shopping online - I will never do that again.

I have a guy from N.C. that might want it too. Do U want me ask him or do u really wanna spend that money?

Thanks to everyone for your interest. The colony has been sold.

From the looks of it, colony did just fine and You can NO longer say you never shipped before !! Your packing was on target, coral was at perfect temperature, Packed super tight and the two pieces were intact. NO Breakage.
They of course are not open as stylo needs a day or two, but the stone darkened up which is an indication of being alive. The water was a tad murky which can affect coral but they are in a well established tank.
Great job Shipping!!
