I had good luck with unique corals. @EXTREMECORALS is a sponsor, nice stuff for sure.
BattleCorals if you’re looking for SPS
AquaSD is 50/50. The corals were fine just much smaller than the pics led you to believe and not worth it to me in the long run.
Those are who I’ve ordered from. I’ve heard good things about Top Shelf Aquatics, Tidal Gardens, and SBB Corals.

Hi There!
Blue Zoo, Vivid aquariums and Ocean Gardens Aquatics are all decent places to order from.
Happy reefing!

If you're looking for a good place to order corals online, check out LiveAquaria, Unique Corals, Cherry Corals, and Tidal Gardens. These retailers offer a wide selection of high-quality corals and they have quality customer service.
Before making a purchase, be sure to read reviews and quarantine any new corals before adding them to your aquarium. You can also browse online forums or classified sites like Craigslist. You might be able to find some unique corals that you won't find from those big retailers, and you can often get them for a good price. Just make sure to exercise caution when you're buying from people online. Ask lots of questions, any information that can help you, you can then do verification checks online just to be safe and sure. By taking these precautions and choosing a reputable seller, you can find healthy and beautiful corals to add to your collection.

I just placed my first order with liveaquaria and it will be my last. Got two shipments…one from Wisconsin and one from California. The shipment from Wisconsin was packaged very well and everything arrived alive. The shipment from California was packaged in 10 pieces of news paper and one bag ruptured and the fish in the other bag was dead. Their customer support said that they only give store credit for the items lost and I will have to pay shipping and box fee again. Not impressed with them at all.
Yep, they’ve really gone downhill.

I have ordered from Premier Reefs. Great coral and no bugs. I don’t even dip coral before adding to my tank and have had no problems. Healthy coral that has all done well.

I've known the Premier Reefs guy for many years. He knows what he's doing. He helps me with chemistry often, and that's sayin something. I got a bunch of Acro frags from him and they're super bright and healthy.

These guys are about the best for soft corals:
Not allot of people selling a wide selection of soft corals other than shroom or zoas but these guys have pretty many and some pretty hard to get stuff.
There LPS selection is decent too.
I have placed allot of orders and never disappointed.
Aqua-cultured Corals | Marine Farmers Inc
Thru out the years Marine Farmers have been able to obtain some of the best and rarest soft corals available in the hobby. Our passion shows in the quality of the frags, that is why we only propagate those species which are more sustainable to the home aquariums.
I haven’t ordered any coral from them, but @Dr. Reef sells coral.
LPS wise, I have no direct reccomendations. I had only previously ordered from Aqua SD for LPS and honestly can’t reccomend them. The flesh bands on the torches are nearly non existent and the frag/coral sizes are horrendously small. They’re essentially a chop shop (imports colonies, chopped them up into frags and resold).
I’ve heard good things about Dr. Mac at Pacific East Aquaculture and while I haven’t ordered, @EXTREMECORALS also sells LPS.

Usually confused...
I recently got a shipment from @Corals.com, and everything came in healthy, and sized as stated. Service was excellent, they even had a live text chat with me when there one of the corals I ordered "didn't look as healthy as they require to ship" asking me if I wanted to replace it, which was easily and quickly handled. I haven't ordered anything online other than that in a couple years (recently reentered the hobby) but I give them my vote of confidence!

I look for local reefers to buy from or better yet trade with if possible. Even better if you find the old reef heads that predate all this stupid name game crap and insane coral markup.
