I have never shipped coral pieces myself. I don't know if I would be able to do a good job and get them there alive.
My current plan is to let the colonies grow out. Trim as required to not suffocate other pieces. When trimming occurs, of course that is when fragging occurs.
Good idea to spread the coral around the country though
