Coral vendor with NO fish! I need vendors.

[Miami Reef]

I need a coral vendor (lps and SPS) that DOESN’T keep any fish with the corals. It needs to be a trustworthy vendor that I can count will not introduce any fish parasites that will kill my sensitive tangs with ich.

No such place exists.

Yeah not likely as everywhere uses fish for algae/pest control

I think @Jay Hemdal said he knew a place.

I don’t believe that all coral farms have fish in them.

Sorry - the place I know isn't a coral vendor, they just sell CUC - Reef Cleaners.

With such a big concern, why not quarantine the coral yourself?

Because I want acropora. If I struggle keeping them alive in my fully loaded system…forget about a cheap QT tank.

Unless there’s a way to have a QT for acros?

I believe ich and many other parasites cannot survive on live tissue, so cutting off the plug and dead tissue and performing a solid dip will significantly reduce any chances of bringing in parasites. But if your willing to spend extra you could try TSM aquatics. I think they have fish free systems. Don't quote me on that.

I've no idea if AquaSD corals are parasite free, but they definitely aren't pest-free.

I don’t think Adam at battlecorals keeps fish in there but could be way wrong.
