so no LFS within 100+ miles
I really would like to find a place to get corals at a reasonable shipping.

ideally they would have a good to great selection of:
rics, and mushrooms
softies
nems, mini maxi, rock flower
LPS
gorgs
zooa

dont really need SPS.

I have ordered from KP a few time for my gorgs great place.
( to bad they dont have LPS )

just found out about aqua SD they seam to have great selection but you have to spend alot of time on ebay to win to fill your shipping box up.

also just found salt critters. never heard of them. there shipping is a bit lower anyone ordered from them?

so what am I missing? is there any online store that I should know about?

I needed to 25 to get free shipping from LA so I added a one head duncan for 29 seams way over priced..


so what is your fav. place and why..
 
Watch out for Aqua SD live sales have Will send you a link, the latest one is mostly SPS but Will is a LPS guy at heart, the live prices are great. I used to buy Ric from his garage back in the day.

I do not have my corals sent I can will call but I have had him ship and he used UPS no problem with them Jackson Hole I would call his shop.
 
I've never ordered livestock online. If I were to place an order I would probably start with liveaquaria.com and go from there. Well I take that back, I did order some snails one time but I was really disappointed when they all showed up very small. That was from a place that specializes in clean up crews. I will think twice about ordering from them next time.

yeah I get my fish from them, however I was not so impressed with the small over prices duncan I got.

yeah I saw that 9 for 99 I did not look into what else he has. i'll look into it for sure!
 
I would echo Vivid, bought from them a little while ago, everything was packed super well, bought fish and coral. Coral all made it and is doing well, a couple fish didn't and they responded very quickly with a refund. Great product, great customer service.
 
unique corals is a little more pricey but has some great looking pieces. Good feedback, though I've never used them personally. I like shopping for coral at my LFS. :)
 
I used to be in a similar situation with my setup. In addition to LA/DD, I've had good experiences in the past buying corals from pacific east aquaculture

I have ordered a lot online. Almost all have been good experiences, even off ebay. My top 3 in order is unique corals, diver's den (not liveaquaira but the WI side), world wide corals. I love unique corals.

Pacific East has been mixed for me. The clams are fantastic, but with two or three coral orders each time there were coral that have just been "eh". For coral they have been the most underwhelming I have bought for - but amazing clams.
 
wow this thread is still going nice!...
it does suck not having a LFS in the state..( might be one on the other side buts that is a 7 hr drive.) i believe. sure would be nice to know what your getting.

I have been talking to a few vendors listed about and so far i am impressed with the communication. only prob. is often it is hard to tell the size of the frag. I have learned 3 squares of egg create =1" aprox. just a lil online frag shopping gem for ya. if you did not know :)
