Was it through SWF.com? Because the box mine came in was extremely padded, and it was a large white styrafoam box. It would have taken more then normal shipping movement to puncture the box, let alone the bags within the box.
As for the corals, they cal live out of water for a short period of time, but I wouldn't keep my hopes high if they've been out for longer than a few hours. Hopefuly the leak was just one of the bags so maybe you'll just lose one item instead of all of them.

They are probably sending it back to the shipper because they will argue the bag was punctured before it was given to them OR that the bag wasn't sufficiently padded. I believe they have some policy that they will actually send the package back to the sender if it is damaged or doesn't have enough padding. Reason being is I believe once they deliver the package to you, you can turn around and say the damaged goods was the carriers fault. So they refuse to deliver the material and send it back to the shipper, ensuring they can't be the liable party.
Make sense?
