What is the best online company for corals?

 

i really like to buy corals at the lfs because online theres always the chance it wont be as healthy or look how you want it. i like to know exactly what im getting.

 

I agree. However, when you live where I live it sure is nice to just have them delivered. I have to drive well over an hour just to get to a quality LFS

 

i have a decent lfs about half an hour away, but if i plan ond riving more than an hour i have at least 10 within my reach.

the best one i believe is neptunes, which actually houses the largest captive hammer coral in the world in their store. it is about 4 feet across. but they are very expensive.

 

We drive 12 hours round trip to our local fish store, we do have one in our home town, but they are awful and very expensive. A friend of m e just started importing fish and corals, to ensure he has what he wants and when he wants it. He is setting up business from his home to provide fish to everyone who wants realistic priced fish and a great selection.

I'm a firm customer already !

 

made my first online purchase yesterday.

@ryland: it depends on what your looking for, if you want SPS check out Wet thumb frags LPS, happy coral.

 

SPS is what mostly dominates my DT. I have a Majestic that I cant bare to part with and SPS are the only corals he wont eat. There is few exeptions to softies and LPS. Thanks for the info.

 

If you buy what you see is what you get stuff then it should look the same just a little different depending on how different your lights are from what the picture was taken under.

 

i have bought wyswyg corals before online, but both times the coral i recieved was quite a bit smaller than they said it was.
