Guys im dying without my fish. Since they died not too long ago in that ammonia spike, algae bloom fiasco a couple months back, I really miss the life they brought to my tank. My LFS has always had the best fish selection, and they still do. Im just very selective now, and know exactly what I want. Does anyone have a good online fish vendor recommendation? Or should I even order fish from the internet? Im just trying to pick everyone's brain. I need my wrasses back!

My LFS doesn't have a great selection so I have ordered from several places. I have ordered from Biota and saltwateraquarium.com and reef beauties and have been pleased with them reef beauties has a good guarantee policy that if I remember right is 15 days but I might be wrong on the amount of days.

If your LFS has the possibility of ordering the fish, do it through them and that way you make sure that they eat and are stronger so that when you take them home your risk is lower, that's what I did with my CBB.

Stylophora Colony – FIJI – PINK

Beautiful Stylophora Colony that's full of color! Please note that it is normal for SPS to lose some of their color during shipping. Given proper care and tank parameters, they will color back up over time. There will be white/colorless areas on this coral from shading and possibly old dead...

The contrast would be insane!

it was in my cue to order when I got the green one. I wanted to go with only one so kids said the green not the pink.

I ordered one yellow coris wrasse from dr reef and he sent a male / female pair! Both healthy and active and still with me today!

I also got a tomini tang from him after my lfs sold me two back to back that died in less than a week. The Dr reef tomini was noticeably better shape and is also with me today

I ordered my Jawfish online with Petco and came in fine. not sure if its true or not but the person at the store said they treat all their fish prior to shipping to the store since they can't treat in store with all the inverts in the tanks.

I don't see this one available too often!
www.corals.com

Dragon’s Breath Macro Algae! Aquacultured

Awesome coloration on this algae! Deep colors and glowing orange highlights! Looks amazing under blues too! You will receive 1 piece approximately 2-3" in size. This is an example image. You will not receive this exact piece, but will be very similar!

Day drinking! I like it!
I know that is late, but I've never heard of Allgash Lager. Wonder if they have an Allgash Liquor?
