How would I transport this?

I have run out of room on this monti cap , it's red with a green infection though the green just doesn't grow where I have it. Got it from Jason Fox . It's attached to a pillar type rock with a ricordea and undoubtedly a baby rock flower or two. I was thinking of selling the whole thing as is, but does anyone have any idea how to transport? My best thought is a 3-5 gallon bucket with foam or something jammed around it. PXL_20250105_213120264.jpg

Foam probably won't work, as it will float away from where you want it to be. I've used old towels in situations like these. Fold one into a long strip and cushion the edges of the coral with it, so there is no contact with the inside edges of the bucket.

Your options are endless. I had an 18-19 inch long Hollywood Stunner that I pulled out and took to the LFS for credit.

If the Euro Bracing wasn't there, I could have gotten it out in one piece. Anyway, the two large pieces went into a Rubbermaid Container and the Rigid Shop Vac container, with enough water to cover it up.

Here's the shop vac base....but now with saw dust in it.

The smaller pieces went in a five gallon salt bucket.

I did this move during a water change were I used the 25 gallons of "dirty" water to transport the corals.

Again, use whatever fits the corals. Anything polyethylene (LDPE or HDPE) is a safe plastic to use.
