Hi, was wandering if anyone has some good experiences or opinions on the best places to buy coral online? Thanks
 
I've purchased from a few places and have had good luck. Blue Zoo was good thought that was a few years back. I bought from reefcorner about two months ago and they were great. Ken there even sent pics of all the corals just before they were bagged. If you're in the northeast, Pacific East Aquaculture is pretty good too and you can get ten dollar shipping.
 
In addition to the advice above, Liveaquaria.com is a great choice as well. They are also a go-to for information on corals, inverts and fish. I always do a quick read-up on what I'm considering to add before doing so and recommend doing the same! :)

I've had excellent experiences over the last several years with Liveaquaria, worldwide corals, and cultivated reef. I'm sure there are many more out there, but these are my go-to's that make it hard to shop elsewhere unless I see something rare or on a ridiculous sale.
 
Cultivated Reef, I just bought from them for the first time and was very happy. The 2 clownfish are doing great after a couple of weeks and I thought the prices for premium snowflakes was quite good.

I got 3 corals and although the frags are a bit on the small side, they all look to be in very good condition. They also bag the livestock very well.

I used to shop Live Aquaria, but I fear that since Petco bought them out their quality has gone down. They have the best guaranty for arrive alive, but I've needed to use that guaranty more than I would like to.

I've bought from WWC, but only at the store, not online.
 
Liveaquaria. Their guaranty, no questions asked , is the best in the business. Their subsidiary Divers Den, is even better. They ship their livestock at 1.025 which pretty well matches my own tanks. A ten minute temperature adaptation then into my tank. Divers Den holds fish, medicated them as needed, and gets them eating for several weeks prior to sale, which saves a lot of trouble on my end
 
Lots of good suggestions and thank you all! I got an Aussie Torch purple with neon green tip about 5 1/2 inches i think full polyp extension, i decided to go with liveaquaria because i dont have as much knowledge on corals, im learning. But thanks all and they all seem like good places and i will try some of the others websites in the future
 
Coral wise, Vivid aquariums had great healthy coral. I ordered a 1 in piece of maze brain and got a 3 in one along with a huge torch and lots of extra polyps on my zoas
Fish wise, I got a yellow watchman but he didn't look to good and was twisted in a weird direction. I put him in the tank anyway hoping he would make it. Never saw him again; no refund bc no body I guess :headwally:
