Anubias coffefolia is not the least bit delicate, and I don't know why anyone would tell you that. I have it potted, which protects the plant even more during shipping, but its pretty tough for that plant to die in shipping. I suppose if the rhizome got soft the leaves would fall off, but they would have had to be pratically boiling for that to happen!

I dunno. It showed up in a flat envelope and looked like it'd been smooshed. The leaves were bruised and some of the stems were snapped. I bought it and crypts initially and both plants ended up dying on me.

did you bury the rhizomes in the gravel? anubias should be attached to driftwood or even rock, but if you just have gravel don't bury the rhizomes.
