Need a heat pac and shipping question

[Top Water]

I never shipped with a heat pack . What kind do I need and where can I get it.
I got talked into shipping a coral . Shipping is not my thing. Do I need to ship in a big box for a single coral so it doesn't over heat? It's just one coral so don't really need s big box . The key is what's the best way to get it there alive in this weather. I have a wide selection of foam boxes so can do what ever is best and can keep me in a fifty dollar shipping range for over night.

Hot hands are too hot. Check amazon they make heat packs for 100 and 140 degrees just for reptiles and fish.

Hand warmers are too hot, cooks your shipment if you are not careful. Much better to use the 72 hour 100 degree packs

Hot hands need air. They will not heat in the box. I use Uniheat 40hr pack. John I have plenty if you need one. Issue is getting it to you.
