best store for SMALL wild colonys

[A.T.T.R]

whats the best store to find small wild ( non mari non aqua cultured colonys) or even a shop that frags wilds...

i want to try some wilds in hope of getting something new . and also i feel wilds are less likely to have paracites on htem then the maricultured

The wild and aquacultured colonys have about the same chance of having parasites due to the fact that they come thru the wholesalers tanks. It is almost impossible to not have parasites in thier tanks when they handle the qty they do.

There is also more stress, hence more loss on wild collected colonys.

I know Pat used to get some great small wild colonys, but don't know if he still is.

wrong they do have wild .
mostly aqua and maricultured but certainly wild colonies.

maricultured is not wild. maricultured is coral that is grown and fragged.
iv never seen wild sps at eco

buddy is not my first BBQ yes they do carry wild. As a matter of fact I did get a couple of colonies about 3 weeks ago.
Pretty sure they still have a wild pink milli. NOT MARICULTURED

I've never seen them there either till about 3w eeks ago when they got 3 wild colonies 2 of wich are in my tank and one that as of Thursday was still there.

the used to get the shipments n tuesday and i was there for a lot of them and only saw mariculture.
