IMO their prices for the size peices they sell are actually very competitive... And everything is wyswyg... Never ordered from them, but from their site, I would consider it, especially with those discounts... GL...

FWIW, their pics are photoshopped pretty badly (not to mention messing with the hue in addition to saturation to bring out nonexistant colors). Their prices are competitive and I've heard mixed reviews. The one thing that really scared me away from them was when they tried to sell a "super rare spotted favia." It was covered with red planaria and he was trying to pass it off as a color morph. He got called out on another forum and he insisted that they were just "spots", but it was promptly pulled from the site without being listed as "sold" and left up for a week. I thought it was hilarious, so I saved the pic before it was taken down.

Looks like red planaria to me, but who knows...

the thing that makes it rare is that the spots move

I've ordered from him quite a few times. Usually it's healthy but you do have to watch out for pests. I bought a montipora and it ended up having nudi's all over it. I got both my Maxi Mini anemones, candy cane, torch coral, some palys etc. No problem except for the montipora. And I agree that the colors never seem to be as good in my tank compared to the pictures:uhoh2: But that hA happened to me with Zoanuts and a couple other vendors too. I'm not defending or promoting. Just trying to give accurate info.

Some nice stuff, just make sure you dip, i have had some pests arrive with the corals as well. The other thing i would say is the corals he calls ultra grade are "a" grade at best and mostly "b" grade, so if your looking for ultra colors your most likely not going to be satisfied.
