Mail order corals

[kysard1]

I've been away from the bibby for 5 years due to relocation.

I remember buying corals cheap online from a place in California. It seems everywhere I look online now is expensive and not really a direct importer like this place was. Any places like this anymore?

PM if it is inappropriate to post here.

Thanks

Not sure about the mail order but I always like to cherry pick my corals at the LFS. I know what I'm getting before I get it.

I've gotten corals from pacific east aquaculture, its in maryland, but then again I'm in Alaska. They have cheap (only $29) flat rate shipping, and prices are good as well. Check them out....

I think a lot of the reason for the price increase is that now most corals are grown and not wild collected. Its cheaper to take it from the ocean, but costs more to grow it (electricity, space, feeding, etc.) Better for the environment, but not the wallet. :)

LPS corals must still be imported?

I remember the company was flying fish
