    Online shipping is a PITA. I wish my store carried more of a variety of things.

    I'd think you'd be OK with softies and leathers...

    what's your coral care experience? if you're relatively new, I'd wait on the non-photosynthetic corals - they're a bit trickier and take more time to care for... if you feel ready go for it, but I usually won't suggest these to beginners (not sure your level).
