I'll take some info, sm! Honestly, the only thing I've ever mailed coral-wise was mushrooms. I just put free-floating shrooms in old film containers and mailed them 2-day ground in the summer. Worked fine.

I'm more worried about xenia in the winter. Should I send them free-floating, or attached to a rock first? If I send them with rock, won't they get pretty battered up?

Yeah, if you can get them DEtached, that would leave them in better shape. The heat pax are a pretty good trick, along with a good shipping box/container. The more insulation the better, of course. What you don't want to do is let the heat pax flop around where they get stuck, say, right against a bag and overheat things. They should last 24hrs., and you should be able to find them at a ski shop. Extra insulation with newsprint, layered, is the best way to go with a regular fish shipping box (styro inside a cardboard box).
