Fraggle Reef, Premium Corals and Fish always has awesome corals, excellent shipping, great prices and a 3reef sponsor to boot. The trick is to to always check the site cause Miguel updates it everyonce in awhile and the stuff goes quick when he does cause he sponsors other forums as well. _________ Got Questions?

I bought from Pacific East Aquaculture at MACNA so it wasn't through the mail, but that's how they normally sell and they have nice stuff. I posted a pic of the orange zoos I got in the photo section. _________ Reefkeeping blog and podcast at http://www.120gallons.com.

I like Saltwaterfish.com - Saltwater Fish, Saltwater Fish Aquariums, Tropical Fish, and Saltwater Fish Tanks, eTropicals, /// Zoafrag /// and LiveAquaria. I've also bought a number of nice specimens on eBay very cheap and none have died. Purchased a 4" Rose Bubble Tip Anemone for $34.99, 1" Pink Millepora for $14.99, 5 heads of all Red Blastomussa (not red and green like most blastos) for $34.99, [110 snails, 1 orange ricordea and 60 hermit crabs for $120]. Reliable eBay sellers are: zoafrags, islandmarinelife and djpuf. | |

Here's a suggestion. Can you put a description for the corals so the people buying know what kind of lighting and what kind of feeding/care it needs? For us newb's in the coral world. We're still learning and to have that infront of you when you are buying helps a lot on what to select.  Thanks! Quote:
