    So I want to start restocking my aquarium with coral but do not want to pay the outragous prices that some LFS have. Does anyone know of or reside in California perferably the central coast and knows how to get corals at a deal?

    Internet Reliable?

    Locals?

    Thanks,
    Scott

    There is a LFS in Marina... the name escapes me at the moment. They have some awesome corals at very reasonable prices. If you want some frags lemme know, I work in the pebble beach area and could drop some frags off in the morning :)


    Morgan @ https://www.reefgardener.net/ has got awesome stuff. She can ship 10 frags at a set price too, which just is an awesome deal. Check out their stuff, I highly recommend reef gardener.

    Look for a local reef club. Got most of my good ones from other reefers tanks. (SPS that is)
    Premium LPS you'll probably still have to get in a store or internet.. I got a great deal on a dendro on ebay.

    ReefEmpire is good....right here in town. Try Vivid Aquariums, WorldWideCorals West, both closer to you. Ocean in a Box......all very reliable with nice stuff and no BS problems. :cheesy:

    What are you looking for? I have some sps, lps, and zoas that I could sell. I live on the Central Coast and frequently sell or trade many of the corals in my tank.

    I live down in Grover Beach. I sell quite a bit of my frags to a lfs in San Luis Obispo. If you find out what you want let me know. I also have some mushrooms and ricordias
