    Locally. I'm sure there's plenty of people around Rochester willing to frag some nice corals. I'd buy a dendro for sure though.

    I would check craigslist as many are local huys with overgrown corals. I would then go to the better lfs in your area if more then one and see when shippment is in and try to hand pick then. I might do it in less then 500 incriments but still spending the full 500. Local reef clubs too althought I have seen many local to me with pests on them and did not care as they were looking to move frags.
