Where is a good place to buy rare inverts?

[dreko]

I've been looking for unusual tunicates, sponges, anemone shrimps, bubble snails, etc for a few months, but no luck...

I've contacted people via frags.org.. but its been hard to find anything...

There's a LFS in CT that seems to get some cool stuff, yet I'm finding myself 1 step behind other enthusiasts too.. they get them before I can find out to visit..

Anycase, are there any known collectors/online researchers/sellers that cater to this fetish?!



Thanks....
any suggestions welcomed..

live aquaria usually has some rare inverts in there divers den section http://www.liveaquaria.com/diversden/index.cfm?ref=3319&subref=AB

Yeah, I'm looking for more unusual stuff...
Aquacon tends to get some cool sponges... They just have a horrible
reputation... probably the worst online seller in the game...

Another vote for Diver's Den of liveaquaria, had 2 very interesting shrimp last night I've rarely seen elsewhere. One was a P. imperator, and they had a nice looking brevicarpalis - what you see is what you get, they have great livestock in that section.

Doesn't P. imperator need to live with a nudibranch?

you should try Zoanuts...

here's a beautiful example of a Flame Anemone that he sold to a fellow reefer:

He really has the best of the best when it comes to corals, too.
