I visited WWC once, and was pretty thoroughly unimpressed with the size and price of the frags.

I will say they had a million of them, though. If you want something specific, some hard-to-find super duper flame throwing fire breathing Acropora Uber Unobtanius, chances are they have it. A 1/2" frag for $150 or so ... but at least they have it.

+1 to all the above. If you want some choice or prize pieces, WWC will have them but you will pay a pretty penny.

I just visited WWC yesterday and will agree with the above, they are very expensive. I asked several questions of the staff and found them to not be very knowledgeable at all. Like it was said though, they do have some pretty unique pieces.

I am a big fan of WWC. I have been impressed with everything I have ever gotten from them. I would highly recommend going by there, even if just to see their display tank with all the crazy colored chalices. It's a great place in my opinion.
