Where to buy coral?

[skidder84]

Where do you guys buy your coral?

Yes I know oddballs has a good selection but, I want some HOT corals.

So what out of state place have you ordered from?

Pics of your purchases would be great!

Divers Den is a good start

You might tell Aquarium Oddballs what you are looking for, Scott can get just about anything.

No LFS around here in Tulsa have what you’re looking for? I would find is locally first before you buy online. I still have bad memories from the Atlantis order several of us did. I don’t even like to order inverts online anymore because of a huge loss. I let the LFS take the risk and buy it from them even though it might cost a little more because they did take the hit. I know Scott always carries nice stuff and I haven’t had a chance to visit ultimate reefs yet since they have reopened. I can’t really tell you any more about the other stores.

What are you looking for? I assume when you say hot coral you’re not referring to galaxia right?

The garf was one of my first acros and the superman was a few years later.I am very surprised you cant find any.They are both common since they have been around for so long.Have you called around to all the LFS?

seth at coralguy.com has some nice pieces at good prices and his stock is always healthy and he is anal about pests/algae so you dont get the hitchhikers you dont want. Also extremecorals.com has a lot of WYSIWYG corals and i have had a good experience with them also.

 

[artpac2004]

if you have a facebook like tulsa reef frag swap...

 

[oddballs]

.... but he's giving you good advice. Buying online isn't all it's cracked up to be, and your LFS can get you specific corals if you just ask.

Hows your tank doing?

 

[sarai826]

It's doing great-- I need to take some pictures, but everything's been happy and stable, and my clowns continue to spawn every now and then, but I (still!) haven't been able to save any of the babies. How's yours?
