Default coral survival

This summer...during the heatwave, I drove about a dozen SPS and LPS frags from Calgary to Victoria....total time apx 48hr.
I didn't have to worry to much about heat, but the styrobox works better than you think. And more than 75% lived.
The corals that didn't make it smelled when opened the bag.
So I suggest that the water with the frags be very clean and about 1/2 the bag volume, with one frag per bag. If you can stop by a friendly LFS and get oxygen for the top even better.
Judging by my experience most of your frags should live...Good Luck!
If it is cool maybe you can get a heat pack to help maintain the temp.
