    I have purchased a number of corals from liveaquaria.com. They have all come in good shape and have never had a loss. It is important to buy from the "Divers Den" which is "what you see is what you get". That way you can get a good specimen. Shipping is $$ because it is overnight but you can find corals which are typically not available elsewhere.

    You could try to find a website that has free shipping if you spend over a certain amount. If you don't want to spend that much just try to find someone maybe from a local reef club to split an order with so you both get free shipping without having to spend alot of money. It is difficult for lfs to get specific corals at least where i am it is so i have pretty much given up on relying on lfs for corals. Just an example would be extremecorals.com if you spend $150 you get free shipping.
