where is she located? my stuff was going to florida.
unfortunately the xenia pretty much wilted away. it was doing great for about 2 weeks. it grew so much, then just pretty much wilted. im down to about 1 stalk, and its not looking too good. xenia just doesnt do well in some tnaks for some reason.

I no longer ship with cool packs. The one time the buyer requested me to use one last summer, the corals arrived in <70 degree water.
I drop off shipments at Fedex at almost 6 pm and they always arrive before 10:30 am. That whole time in transit would be just at night and morning, so it wouldn't get too hot for the corals. I've never had a problem with overheating shipments.
