if you were going to order zoos online, who would you go with?

[loyalty]

i've never ordered livestock online, and the whole shipping thing makes me nervous. can any of you guys relate places you had good experiences with?

I've ordered coral online from only two places.

ReefScience.com (great frags, good price)

and my recent order (just received Friday Morning):

Ultimatefrags.com (awesome zoos, and a great selection of sps ect, I ordered zoos). Rommel was excellent to deal with, great communication before and after. I'll definitely be buying from him again.

You can sometimes get some nice pieces from www.roesmarineworld.com but you have to be fast because the nicer ones do go very fast.

http://www.zomania.com/ is my hands down favorite. You gotta be fast tho!!!! to get them when available.

actually, your post in our board is what prompted me to ask. i checked out ultimate frags, but i'm not a fan of buying zoos by the polyp. zomainia looks good, but they do go quick! thanks for all the replies

I'm not a "per polyp" fan either, however there were a couple I simply just wanted. I ended up with more polyps than I ordered on my "per polyp" choices.

They're still in the process of opening up, and I'm waiting to see what the free frag is that he sent. About 50 polyps of something....

www.sharkysreef.com all the way.

Here is one for zoamania that kind of scared me off...

I have bought zoas from Roesmarineworld.com and fragglereef.com and have been pleased with both product and service.

I don't know if you have ever checked out the selling/trading areas here on RC but there is usually some nice stuff there for good prices, but it goes quick.

I agree, got the "Castro" today and they :eek2: :eek1:

Coralfanatics.com is also a great source of very colorful zoas.

I found a new place www.kahunacorals.com
Some really nice stuff. Mostly whole colonies, not frags.

the "Castro" from Zomania :eek2: :eek1:

Please take the earlier advice and read the Zoomania thread. I saw some very beautiful zoos there in WYSIWYG, ordered one and never received anything or heard from them. I finally got my money back through complaining to PayPal, others were not so lucky. The pictures are almost irresistible.

wow just read the thread on zomania........ I made the purchases on E-b@y so I did not know that they were zomania until I received my order and the invoice had zomania on it.
My transaction went very smooth and I even sent a certified check. BTW the frags looked every bit as good as his site shows I know the colors are not always spot on but these were very accurate.
