Where is the best online saltwater store? I was looking at Dr. Smith and Foster, but I want a bigger selection.

Where do you like to shop on line? Good deals, good customer service, healthy livestock, and good reliable products?

I think they are owned or affiliated with Dr. Foster & Smith

You have a multitude of choices. Just click the sponsors at the top of your screen and there will be a list of dozens that you can choose from depending on what you are looking for.

I don't think you'll find a better selection of livestock than Live Aquaria and Divers Den. Both are owned by Foster & Smith. F&S has just about everything in supplies and food that anyone would need; with the exception of some high-end skimmers, maybe. All F&S companies have the best customer service of anyone, in any business, anyplace; IMO. Their guarantee is the best in the business and they honor it. Very competitive pricing & shipping (often free too) BTW, Divers Den adds livestock ever business day, they'll e-mail you a daily list.Its all WYSIWYG. Search this site for the F&S companies; the support they get is obvious. BRS is great for hard to find stuff.

I just want to see a lot of choices before I make my final choice. Right now I'm looking for corals and carpet anenome. Maybe a anenome to host my clowns. Not sure yet, just looking. But a good, respected online store is great to have.

My favorite online store would be Premium Aquatics - Premiumaquatics.com

I'm hitting all these sites and I can't find yellow coral. I see lots of tans and light green. Why is it that I see yellow coral in peoples tank pictures, but not in any, stores online or local?

These are the yellow coral I see but can't find to buy, non of these pictures were taken by me, and I do not claim to own them. All were found on Photobucket.com

Some of these I have seen online, but they are tan colored.

I don't know off hand what the first & last pictures are, but the middle 2 are sea fans & are only for experts only.

A lot of the color will have to do with your lighting. Check out the coral sponsors, there are a ton of them with some beautiful corals.

1st is yellow scroll
3rd ...I think is a fire coral
IMO , of the 4...scroll is easiest to keep, next yellow leather, ...forget the other 2

+1... go with the yellow leather.

There's also plain ol' yellow polyps as well.

Is there a reason those choices have to be on a single site? It is the internet after all... :)

Never said anything about a single site, I just want a well respected and trusted site/s. I don't have much extra cash, so I want to be able to trust I'm getting happy, healthy live stock and working, reliable equipment. I have been to all the sites mentioned. I do have to say though... divers den rocks. :)
