    Who do you buy from?? So far, I've bought almost everything from a marine-only LFS that has some corals. I bought my CUC from reefcleaners.org and was very pleased (thank you, John). Do corals ship okay? I would appreciate any recommendations for reputable online coral dealers!

    All corals are shipped from reefs so yes they ship ok it is more a matter of can you acclimate them to get the % of dead down to 0 if possible. Xenia ships hard. TBH though at mos the stores I have help unbag boxes from overseas they just cut them open and throw them in.

    Side note I ordered form DR. MAc a few years ago and every coral died
