I personally like cultivated reef. I've dealt with other coral vendors in the past such as aquarium depot, which I was disappoint with. You buy so much and get free shipping, but the shipping is two days and by the time the prouducts arrive they are so stressed out and water is mostly cold. Took my zoas a while to open up and some still never flourish like they should. I've also order from tidal gardens which has good products but they are priced at full retail. Their order comes in over night and with $250 you get free shipping. Than is very knowledgeable about the products and the products did flourish in the tank, but you get what you pay for. I have nothing bad to say about tidal just the prices are a little steep for my liking when I can go to a place like cultivated reef and find the same item for less money
With cultivated reef I've ordered 3 times, the third actually just arrived today. I've never had a bad experience and every item have opened up and flourished as soon as the acclimation is finished. It's like the coral never misses a beat from their tank to my tank. With their orders I have received wonderful customer service from Holly, which has taken care of my orders each time. She provides fast information, and quality service. If you are looking for a specific item and you do not see it just ask, they may have it and it hasn't made it to the website yet. That's what I've done before and even received offers on other items that haven't been uploaded yet. For especially Zoas, I do not know of a better place to order online. The service and items are top notch, fair prices, teir discounts, reward points. Even receive 20% off the next order after the first order. And most the time you receive more than what was listed on how many polyps to expect.
Wonderful website and company to do business with.
