    you can always try aquacon.com they are located in FL, now I will tell you that lots of people have had bad experiences with them, but I ordered from last year in july and it was a great experience, I live in FL so shipping was free because I ordered over $100 of stuff and if you don't order more than that it is $15.

    90% of the corals in my tanks were purchased online - a little less if you don't count what I got from WorldWide Corals (purchased in-store, but shipped to me).

    Why? Because in an area with the arguably the best reef society (Bay Area), there is a dramatic absence of quality stores to buy corals from. I have to make a haul to a decent store. Really amazing to me.
