    So i am always apprehensive about using a new vendor or lfs especially when dealing with livestock. I have been looking to buy a few acropora and Unique Corals seems to have a lot i am wanting. I know they are a sponsor, which is one of the reasons i have looked at their stuff, but I trust 3Reefers more than anything else.

    So i am basically asking who has bought from Unique Corals and what your experience was like.

    Did your corals arrive in good shape? Quick recovery from shipping? Were your corals fresh cut? Would you recommend them?

    Thanks for any advice anyone can provide.

    Nothing but professional. Corals are always healthy. Prices are fair. No fresh cuts. One of 4 vendors I'll buy SPS from.

    My first and only online coral was purchased from Unique. It was an acan. Still have it today and its a medium sized colony. Id def suggest them as a online vendor.

    I might add, the coral didnt look quite like the picture. I would venture to guess that is the case with most online vendors. That is why I perfer going to view coral before making any purchases (this is why I love TidalGardens so much).

    I agree with Tidal Gardens but there are a few pieces i am looking for which they don't have.

    This seems to be the consensus, so i will probably give them a shot as soon as funds are replenished.
