Experience with corals.com

[Redbird5]

Corals.com has some corals I want. Has anyone bought from them? How was the experience? What kind of experience did you with them? Were the corals healthy? I ordered coral from a site and it died from sudden polyp loss maybe a week after I got it.

I've placed 5-6 ( or more ) orders from Corals.com and have been very happy with them.
Very professional.
Always great packing.
Great communications.
Corals are as pictured.

Are they healthy? They have some sun coral I really want, it's captive bred, my LFS can't get captive bred and I'd prefer not to take from the ocean. They have other coral I want as well. The sun coral is the main one I want.

Like I said, I'm happy with multiple orders from them.
As with any shipped coral you take a chance. It's just the nature of the deal. Once the corals are boxed up and sent out, the vendor has no control over how the package is treated, the temperatures they end up in, or delays.
Reach out to them via their email or phone number.
Tell them your concerns and wants.

I emailed them last night. I've dealt with businesses that seem impressive and then I lost the coral.
