    I would love to get some blue or purple zoos. Anyone know of a good place (online or in FL) that sells them?

    TIA

    Ehh, if you can find them in Florida, let me know. I love zoas, but the only lfs that has them around here sells them for $40 for a few tiny polyps.

    I know they are expensive, but I really, really want some ;)

    I'll let you know if I find any in FL, Zach

    Thanks - I was thinking about heading over to WWC in Orlando this weekend, he's got a much better selection than any of the stores in Tampa, it seems. If I make it over that way I'll let you know if he has any.

    Thanks Zach - Have you been to WWC before? I've looked at their website, but I'm not familiar with them.

    Chris - Thanks for the advice on liveaquaria. Have you bought from them?

    I buy alot of pet stuff from them (they are basically DR fosters) as I have a zoo.. ferrets cats koi fresh water tank, and recently just started my saltwater tank up. I am going through my cycle now and bought my LR from them. Got it overnight and had some real nice pieces in it and very little damage in shipping. They are always getting new stuff in and have weekly deals and bundles.

    So the answer is no but probably will a few months from now.

    Never been there before. I'm just tired of going to the LFS's around here and being disappointed all the time. Never can find anything really good - there's a guy in Riverview I got my Frogspawn from which I plan to purchase from again, but other than that - blargh. I'll do the drive to Orlando, it looked like he had a nice setup, so I'll see what's up at his shop.

    Chris - Thanks for the info. I'm always a little hesitant ordering stuff from places that I've not used before. Good luck on your SW tank!

    Zach - I know what you mean about poor selections at the LFS. We have 3 in town & they never really have any good stuff.

    I've been to 4 -5 stores in Orlando, and the one I liked the best was Aquarium Fanatics (phone-407-532-2813). I liked it because it was clean! And the guy really seemed to know his stuff. I bought some mushrooms & a yellow toadstool leather from him & they are doing great.

    I'll have to give WWC a try also.
