How long will corals live in a bag?

[SmallFry]

Don't know anything about their chances of survival (I don't have any coral), but I'd think it's best to let the vendor know what's happening sooner rather than later. These sort of things always seem get resolved one way or another a lot easier if everyone knows the deal at the earliest opportunity.

Also if the vendor is anywhere near Vancouver, or if the frags have made it to anywhere near you, perhaps someone might be able to 'rescue' the frags while they're still alive...
