You can't go wrong making sure it is completely submersed in water.

Hi swimmer
![]() I have sent calerpa to about 5-6 different ppl and the way that I ship it is I use Ziploc baggies (i use the baggies that are 1/2 the size of the sandwich baggies) and I put in about 1/2 cup of my tank water and then the calerpa and I zip the bag up with a little air (not much) then I put that into another bag. The post office has very small boxes for free and I use them they are always $3.50 to ship ANYWHERE in the U.S. as long as you are shipping from the U.S. (it generally takes 1-3 days for them to receive it) and I put a handfull of popcorn styrofoam in the box or I use newspaper for padding around the baggie. HTH ![]()

We get it at the store shipped in just alittle water, like no water would drain out if you tip it upside down. So, I would just add a little bit. HTH
