Jan December 20, 2011 Share December 20, 2011 Zoas are very hardy. I'd be concerned about sponge and any other sensitive hitchikers on your LR. Sponge on rock dies quickly out of water and can foul your system. I would take a bucket, styrafoam box or large cooler and use a battery powered airstone. You can pick them at Petco or Petsmart. The heat in your car will keep temps fine for the 3 hrs transport.

zygote2k December 20, 2011 Share December 20, 2011 bucket and water should be sufficient for corals for 24 hours as long as temp stays warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coral Hind December 20, 2011 Share December 20, 2011 The rock doesn't have to be kept fully submerged. Placing wet towels over the rocks will keep them from drying out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
