best place to buy corals and fish on line

hello everyone i will be buying a lot of fish and corals for my new tank really soon.


do you guys know a great one line place with great prices for fish.

and what is the best place to buy corals at?

if you have not bought from the store before plz do not tell me to buy from there. i want to make sure i get a great place to buy from.

 

Im a big fan of Liveaquarias Divers Den.... WYSIWYG, 14day guarantee.. great customer service, Things sometimes are more expensive, sometimes less depending on other vendors.

Thats just my two cents though.

 

Divers den's pretty expensive though. Check out mr. Coral. They have an awesome $10 frag section.

 

I've bought from liveaquaria and they are A+ in my book. While I did have 1 shrimp & a goby DOA, one phone call & about 5 minutes later I got store credit. While those arent high dollar items, I still didnt have the take pictures, file this and file that like I did at a competitors site.

I also very highly recommend reef-a-holics ebay auctions as well. I just got some in the mail from him, and I am truely impressed with what I seen so far.

I've also shopped with corbinspets (ebay seller). He has some excellent prices & good shipping as well. It has seemed lately some of his frags have gotten smaller than when he started, but if your looking for cheap $5-$10 frags to get started and watch them grow, he is worth looking into as well.

AND HE IS A 3REEF SPONSOR!!

Speaking of sponsors 3reef has alot of good sponsors with quite the selection as well. I have looked at quite a few of them. I am just starting with the cheaper and smaller frags to make sure I can properly care for the things I am getting.

I am just waiting for my reef keeping skills to grow before I step into larger & more higher priced pieces.

 

have you had a good experience with mr.coral? i've never read anything good about that place honestly :/ so i'm curious every review i've read basicly says if your lucky one or two of the corals will survive... LMk i've been tempted to order from there many times.



to the TS: my favorites would be coral morphologic, reefgardener, bluezoo aquatics, and cultivated reef.

 

i've purchased from them and all the frags survived. However i had ordered a few mixed zoas with multiple colors and did not get them. I emailed after I got it and was told those corals were not healthy and he just replaced them with others. Wasnt too happy but didn't really have other options.

The frags are actually pretty nice and will grow out over time. Keep in mind that you will have to be very patient because the frags are very small, about size of a nickel-quarter in most cases.

 

hmm thanks for the first hand account! i've realy been on the fence with them but the prices are soo good ;D

 

Depends on what you're looking for.

eBay is a great option.

 

liveaquaria.com is the best. if you buy from them you wont be disappointed. their fish and coral are very healthy. i have purchased from them several times and have always been impressed. jm2c

 

I was extremely imprssed with Coral Morphologic. Unbeatable shipping prices, customer service, and AWESOME zoas.
