    I want to order a a two spot bristle tooth tang from live aquaria.com and of course the reviews on the site are excellent, but I want to know if any of my fellow reefers have had experience with liveaquaria.

    Please feel free to tell me your good and bad experiences with the company, as well as what I should do if I were to order from the company. Thanks in advance.

    I haven't ordered from Live Aquaria, but I have read many good reviews of the place and have decided if I ever order fish from online it will be from them. I've also ordered from the parent company, Drs Foster and Smith, several times and never had a problem. If you do order for Live Aquaria, let us know how it goes!

    Drs Foster and Smith is awesome. Never did Live Aquaria or Diver's den though. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from them based on my experience with Drs Foster and Smith.

    They are good with very good service. Divers den is "WYSIWYG" but they often use HEAVY photoshopping on the corals and what not.

    Yeah I would not get corals online...I would simply get them from fellow reefers in my area. But as I mentioned I am thinking about getting a fish, I am just worried about the weather since it is starting to cool down and what effect that may have on the fish.

    I also have ordered from Dr. Foster and Smith and had good results so I know that that part of the company is on point, at least when it comes to the dry goods and so forth.

    Thanks for everyones input so far.

    My wife ordered me a clam from Live Aquaria for a Xmas present. It arrived the first week of January in the cold. It was healty and lived 2 years in my tank.
