How do you ship corals?

I'm selling some frags on Ebay and want to know the best way to ship them. Also how long can they survive in transit. Do they need to arrive within 1,2,3 days to have a good chance of survival? I'm hoping to keep shipping expenses to a minimum.

I'm planning to get a styrofoam cooler then put it in a box with styrofoam packing material and I will pack the corals in a few bags.

The corals being shipped are Zoo's, Mushrooms, a head of Candycane, a head of frogspawn, and 1 purple montiora cap frag.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris
