The can be out of water for a while.  I have had mine out for well over an hour before...just dont expect them to open right up when you put them back in the display tank.  You may aloso want to think about leaving something damp over them.

I have had them shipped "Dry" to me in the past with great success. They were just wrapped in damp newspaper all the way from Bali to here. I bet 5 minutes will be ok......

I've had mine out of the water for almost an hour sitting under MH lights while I was working in the tank and had no problems.  I wouldn't suggest doing that but they did fine.
