Live rock question

I have a quick question about live rock. My live rock just came in, but I'm behind on my tank. It won't be ready until Monday. What can I do with my LR to minimize the amount of die off until then? Five gallon bucket with a circulation pump? Throw it in the fridge? Will it be okay just sitting in its package for a couple of days? Thanks for any help.

Also, thanks for all the information on this forum. I've been lurking for a little while, and know a whole lot more than when I started.

If possible put in a container and put a heater in there so it maintains the temp, light isn't needed for a few days but a powerhead wouldn't hurt.

Dont throw it in the fridge it will all die off. At a minimum you need to keep it wet with salt water or it will die off
