i've shipped two.
both i shipped in water, i just couldn't see shipping it dry as some suggest. one went via ups, the other by usps i believe. just make sure however you do it that it gets there the next day.

I attended a seminar were Anthony Califo was a guest speaker. He spoke about the survival rate of anemones from collecting and shipping. Anemones are terrible shippers. 99.9% of all anemones collected die before they hit a wholesaler. Considering all the anemones in the trade with a survival rate of .01%, one can imagine how many are taken off the reef... They do not ship well. and I personally would not ship any anemone. JMO

All I am saying is that the survival rate o f shipping anemones is not good.,.... That is why most anemones look like crap in LFS.
