How whould i go about transferring live Coral n fish from one location to the next? Im picking this up from Los Angels n bringing it all house tank n all might make one round trip with two suvs. Ive seen some times lapse video of them taking the tank down n using rubbermaid tubs to hold rocks nut didnt see the fish go or live. Coral.
 
fish safest thing to do is get buckets.
corals you may want to individually bag them as they may be aggressive towards each other if they touch.
 
Im new to coral. Can it be detacted from what ever its on? An by bagging just norm lfs bags?
 
try to keep it on the rock (works better for me this way)
if it's attacked to something really big and CAN come lose (soft corals, nems etc) you can try it

i wouldn't go messing with hard corals more than necessary
 
Keep everything attached, it's much easier to move that way. Bag as much as you can.
How much coral/rock are you moving? Seems like it could be a lot.
