Ok, I have 7 corals coming tomorrow and they include favites and zoanthids. They shipped today and wil be here tomorrow. Some of these coral belong to a friend since we always go in on online orders to save on shipping. Now all the time we have inverts or fish in the order and we dont like the order to sit on the front door step so we take some time off work to be there for the delivery. Since this is only favites and zoas, and it may sit on the doorstep for two hours, do you think it will be ok.. Temp will be like 80 tomorrow but myfront door is in the shade. I just don't want to take time off work to come acclimate this coral.

Well coral should stay around the 80 degree mark anyway.... I personally have never acclimated coral.. have just thrown them in and they survive well.

Cool. I plan to just leave it then. Can't wait to add it though!!! However, I have a feeling some of these pieces are going to be SO small that it won't even look like I added anything to the tank.

Package has been delivered according to the tracking number. 77 degrees right now with a high of 84. The package won't be in direct sunlight so I think it will be okay. Right?

I think you're going to be ok. I've had coral on my front door for 3 hours when it was like 70 out. Never had an issue
