This last Saturday I went down to the Bay area to see RogueCorps of RAG, attend the SEABay meeting, and visit with Matt Rogers and Gresham Hendee of the awesome website 3Reef.com

While there, I was blessed to pick up some fabulous mushroom frags. *The frags I received from Gresham courtesy of Cortez Marine wholesale distributors were packed professionally in shipping bags that would be used when shipping to a retailer. *The frag I received from RogueCorps (RC) was in a Kordon Breather Bag.

All of the frags were placed in a cooler with heat packs. *The bags from Gresham were filled 3/4 with water and the bag from RC was deviod of air, completely full of water. *When I arrived home to my suprise the frag from RC was fully open and appeared to be in less stress than the other frags.

To my suprise, it was printed right on the Kordon Breather Bag that it respirates CO2! *That explains why RC's frag was the only frag fully open in the bag. I placed it in the tank last as it appeared to be under the least amount of stress. The frag acclimated the best opening fully almost immediately after being placed in my tank.

I would recommend that in the future if you are sending or receiving any livestock you specify the Kordon Breather Bag. *I won't frag without it in the future.

Here is the link to ta site that sells the bags:
