shipping Larger LR w/ shrooms/zoas?

[drea]

so i know that mushroom/zoo frags are fine to ship priority mail, even if the rock is like 2-3 inches....
BUT, i have some rocks that are 6 inches x 3-4 inches...... will these rocks start to decay with priority shipping and then effect the mushrooms? or is this fine to ship priority as well???
any experiences?
thank you

most live rock is shipped 2nd day to cut down on expense, but usually only shipped wrapped in newspaper. this causes it to have to get cured.
for a rock covered in corals... you may try to ship it in a cooler or something bagged in enough water to keep everything wet. the cooler would protect the shipment from overheating, plus keep the bags from getting beat up and hopefully prevent leaking.
i wouldn't think there'd be any ammonia issues, but i've never tried it.
