Does anyone out here know of a good site that sells nice size corals or clams? SPS, LPS.

I have yet to order clams or coral from them, but Saltwaterfish.com - Saltwater Fish, Saltwater Fish Aquariums, Tropical Fish, and Saltwater Fish Tanks is a rather good site to order from in my opinion.

Moray:
I'm in Fairfield County, CT and I've seen a pretty good selection of corals at House of Fins in Greenwich. I don't know how close you are to there, but it's worth a look. You'll be paying Gold Coast prices, but at least you won't have to deal w/ the cost and stress of shipping.
Good luck!

Oh, and if you're looking for any green star polyp or xenia frags, let me know...

I use Just Phish for pretty much all of my invert purchases. I've also used Reef aquarium invertebrates and reef safe fish for snails and hermit crabs with good results. I've used Aquarium Fish: Tropical Freshwater Fish and Saltwater Fish for Home Aquariums in the past and was a bit disappointed.

I've also ordered from JP at JustPhish and was psyched with the corals I recieved. JP is also a local guy and I always prefer to shop locally.

I've done repeat bussiness with the following people and have always been more than satisfied:
Roe's Marine World
Greg Hiller´s Corals
Floridapets.com
I also know people who have nothing but good to say about the following folks:

I hope this helps!

Thanks for the Info guys!

Pisces23- House of Fins is about the best LFS that I have seen in 20 years. The prices are through the roof though.

The Zoos on the JP site look pretty good, but are they smaller when you receive them or are they pretty fair!

HoF is the best LFS i've found around here. And after living in this area for a few years I come to expect the crazy high prices. I really need to see if they'll buy GSP or xenia frags off me for store credit.
As for JP's frags: I ordered a frilly brown mushroom and the one I recieved was 2 or 3 inches in diameter...and it split for me the 2nd week I had it!
I was well pleased...

All the corals/clams that you see on JP's site are "what you see is what you get".

I use Jeff's Exotic Fish a few times. I order a few small coral and he send me some large corals. FedEx also had the box upside down and all the water from one bag came out. I just send Jeff a picture of the coral and the next day a new one was sent out.
