Thats how you put the finishing touches on a smart-*** move

Oh now, just having a bit of fun. But really this is one of the most asked topics by people right after they bought their first coral. That google list is good, minus aquarium depot, they are trash.

Good list: world wide corals, cherry corals, aquasd, vivid, unique corals, battle corals, pacific east coast aquaculture, yourreef, live aquaria, etc. There really are tons of places.

Edit to add check out the announcement page to see if there any upcoming frag swaps close by. They are great, vendors are hobbyist and businesses, all selling stuff. All WISIWYG because, well , you’re looking at the merchandise. Prices are typically a bit better too and some look to unload stuff at the end to avoid carrying it out.

One with a guarantee such as wwc and boom corals, they both have s 10 and 14 day no question asked guarantee on their corals

Depends on what type of coral.

For example;

Zoas PALYS = planetzoa.com
Chalice = jasonfoxsignaturecorals.com ; worldwidecorals.com

Each individual coral usually has a dedicated website

Thanks guys

Plus if you are on FB there are many sites where they run auctions where you can find really good deals to drive people to their online stores. Check out **** auctions and Mike Biggars for one

Daddyrawg · 06/13/2018, 05:37 PM

Looks like World wide corals has some nice stuff

i have had good luck with Live Aquaria. I have a lot of their ORA corals. Also, they have a really good guarantee policy.

Maybe the question should be - What online coral sellers should we stay away from.

There is one out there that keeps changing their name to try and stay ahead of the bad reviews.

Wonder what they call themselves now?
