When I moved I put all my rock in rubbermaid garbage cans in water and strapped them in the truck, and transported some of the water in a buch of buckets. I also put the live stock in buckets, and some corals in a rubber tote. However that's a long trip for your live stock I would definately transport them in styrfoam, but your best bet for them might be to take them to a lfs, and have them send them to you.
