Where to get better Zoa?

[mpderksen]

I'm looking for some nice Zoa. I have several I really like, but other than online, much of what I see in the LFS seem brown. I don't want BROWN!!! I work in the Bay Area, and there are a bunch of cool places around, but I haven't really found much in Zoa that I like. Aquacon.com has some pretty amazing ones, but I've never ordered livestock online. I'm looking for Blue Hornets, specifically, and some red Superman ones.
Ideas?

Have you checked craigslist? I've found quite a few local guys who frag out their overgrown corals. Just met someone that supplies a bunch of the lfs's around town. Bought direct from him for a fourth of the price.

Join a local reef club and deal will local reefers. Some of my nicest stuff comes from trades with local guys. Other than that go online and see what you can find. Plenty of choices.

Go check out the new reef raft store in Fremont. They just had their grand opening. I picked up some blue hornets and red hornets there yesterday. Not exactly cheap, but they have a large selection of designer corals.

Aquacon.com has a terrible reputation. We bought live rock from them about three years ago and it was pretty funky. And now, we have a 3-4 ft Eucinid worm, and all of my beautiful zoas have been eaten. Zoas ship well, order them from a reputable dealer, or look in the livestock section on here.

Excellent. Thanks. Now I know where to spend my birthday money next week.

Clubs are defiantly the way to go. Expecially if you find people that do it just because they love to do it. Buying from people that just wanna make a buck can get expensive. This past Saturday I got Cb rainbow infusion cb fang bangers 2 frags of blue hornets cb rockstar pink ladys and my clementines for less than Cb sells one polyp of the rainbow infusion. There are some nice ones out there and cb has some of the nicest but they are crazy expensive from them.

I had a hard time finding a club in my area that is active.

I agree with the local sourcing, i mean if there is a specific color your looking for and can only find it online so be it....but between the local club auctions, local craigslist/facebook fraggers and LFS I havent needed to go online.

Takai, is CIMA not that active there? If not I would do some looking on facebook and craigslist, I found a really nice coral FRAG BST group in AZ through Facebook.

zoanthids.com, worldwidecorals.com, fragjunky.com, cornbred on ebay. All 4 have super nice zoos all the time. I really like frag junky, shes super nice and always has nice stuff with good prices.
