World Wide Corals

[Scrandrew]

I just returned from my trip to Disney World with the family. While there, I visited a reef store call World Wide Corals. I can honestly say that I was greated by a 300 gallon display tank which was quite possibly the nicest that I have ever seen. Contained therein were at least 100 of the flashiest and most colorful corals that I have ever seen. Dominated largely by sps, every color in a large box of Crayola crayons was well represented. Also present were maybe thousands of frags to chose from in multiple large tanks. Truthfully, I could have spent the day there looking at the livestock and spending the kid's college education. That would not have went well as my family was awaiting my return for a trip to Epcot.

The prices in the store were reasonable, and, I left with 5 different ricordea polyps and 5 different sps polyps for about $290. The treasures in my bunch included a great montipora setosa, a pokestar monti, and, fantastic rics. The employee, Chris, I believe, took the time to help me with my selections, and, also gave me a tour of the mechanics of their system, offering me tips for mine. You cannot find a nice store, with better quality corals, and, a more helpful staff.

If I had to find a negative, I would say that I got killed on the cab ride over - $50 to and $50 back. But, otherwise, if you loke coral, you need to make the trip.

By the way, if you at World Wide Corals are reading this post, all corals arrived safely home in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton - 28 hours after the boxing (due to your good packing), despite the Airlines effort to thwart the successful arrival (my corals were left baking on the tarmac much to my chagrin).

Thanks again.

It's just too bad that I witnessed - before it was deleted - username "WWC" had threatened a fellow ORCA member.

Went a little something like this - "why don't you get out behind the computer and say it to my face". When all the user who posted, said it was "about $100 cheaper than WWC, per eye". And then username "WWC" continued...


Hate to comment, but not many people were able to see it. This user and I had a chuckle. I hadn't been to WWC prior to this comment, and have absolutely no ambitions of going now. If any owner is that angry I'd hate to be there when this "user" WWC was working and in this mood. I'll take my business elsewhere.

At first, I thought WWC's account was hacked or something - after all the praise I had heard about them. Then this "person" aka "WWC" slipped up, with something like that, I couldn't believe it. :eek1:

I'm still shocked I read that.

I'm not on anyones side here and I usually never get wrapped up drama.

But I think you took what was said out of context. I read it as WWC saying, if you have a complaint why don't you say something to me at the store instead of going home to complain online.

Thinking that those guys are inviting a physical fight to their place of business is just silly.

But I also agree it could have been handled through private message and kept that little bit of drama off our boards.

I would just like to go on record by saying that the store was great, I was threatened by no one, and, I never got to see the offending post. My corals are doing great!

It is. But IMO, they were best left to say nothing at all. So what someone is selling an item cheaper than WWC. I know (I hope) that they weren't trying to be confrontational - however the exact words that were exchanged - could have easily been interpreted likewise.

I agree - which is why I recommended them to take it to PM's instead of "confronting" this person publicly because they said "oh, , it's $100 cheaper than WWC per eye." Simply uncalled for, IMO.


Still it's a joke. I just don't want to spend my money to a company that tolerates that.


I'm not trying to blast WWC, but I am just adding my $.02.

I could care lees about your two cents, just send me a picture of you so I can make sure you won't come back to my store :blown: That should give you an idea of how worry I am of your opinion

Before this becomes a case where people get banned, or things get added to the list of filtered words here, I'm going to close this thread. I recommend that everyone involved walk away from the keys for a little while.
