Recommendations for Online sites to buy zoas?

[ChiefRon]

Hello all.

I'm pretty new to the hobby, and in the process of collecting some zoanthids for my reef tank.

I'm looking for specific color combos (neon green, blue, purple) that Kermits or Memfish didn't have.

Can you chime in with some online sites that folks have had good experiences with?

Thanks for any tips.

I wouild just advise to be "very cautious" in shipping this time of year with the weather and shipping anything like that.

Shoot scarson61 a PM. I believe he has some zoas and he is in Oxford.

Reef Kingdom has a nice selection of Zoanthids. Never used them though.

Did you look at the FS thread on the first page? Some nice Zoa's in there.

I'm new to the hobby myself and still in the equipment phase , when I actually get my tank together. I was going to come here and post a thread asking what Zoa's and other corals everyone has before I start ordering online. Would save some cash to just get a frag from a local person instead of shipping coral.

Do a google search for Dana Cramer in Tavernier FL in the Keys. He usually has some different colors and the price is certainly right!!

be careful ordering things off the net, you never know what critter (nubi) you could wind up with

I have ordered a few times from Dana and always do an iodine dip prior to putting my zoas in any of my tanks. I can honestly say that I have never found a nudi on any of his rics or zoas. Kermit's and Memfish can order what you need, as well.

I had a bad experience with reefkingdom a few years back. It was really DHL's fault but they were not very helpful about any of it. I certainly would not buy from them again unless they could ship w/somone else. DHL has never instilled me with confidence anyway maybe if you live in a less rural area it would be better.
I have had good success with reefscavenger.com, liveaquaria(dr. fosters and smith) and ******************. I have also been wanting to buy fram dr.mac, but I have been too broke.
