Hey friends, anyone know of good coral sales places in Florida? I live in a tiny town in the middle of nowhere in south central Florida and if there were some good shops where I could get affordable shipping that would be amazing!

Thanks in advance for the help!

Dude! Coral sales at brick n mortar stores are sooooo 2017. Lol.

But seriously. Right HERE on R2R there are weekend Live Sales events where you pay $30-$40 for shipping BUT have access to $100 corals for like $30.

I EXCLUSIVELY only buy from Online Live Sales now. Shipping g is always professional. I've never seen a dead coral come out of a shipping box.

Hold out for Live Sales coming up. You save a TON of money. The selection of coral is mind numbing ;Wideyed

I'm telling ya....

World Wide Corals just had a HUGE Live Sales.

Thumb thru the pages and check out the price and corals you missed:

Would help if you specified what kind of corals.. what type of system they are going into etc..

Wwc is in Orlando and has prob the cleanest corals in the market. However you pay for them too. I too am in Florida. In palm coast and I buy a lot of softies from Petco here and in st Augustine. They are about 1/2 the price and the stores in these areas actually keep a pretty clean system so I don’t worry much about buying from them.

If this is a new tank I’d just buy local as it will be cheaper and you can inspect for parasites first hand and as a new tank it’s really no different then a quarantine system..

If established system I’d wo a doubt buy from wwc and never look back. Even better if you want to go there in person and pick up as it will save you a little in shipping.

Awesome! We have one place about an hour away that’s decent and I’m just hearing of another place about an hour and fifteen in aft Lauderdale as well

I live in Belle Glade, Fl. It’s a small agricultural community o the southeast side of Lake Okeechobee!
You are closer to South Florida. There are a bunch of great shops down that way. I go diving around West Palm, Boynton area. I love checking out all shops when I am down.

Interesting- I wouldn’t suggest live sales. The majority of the time it’s just the retail price, but they force you to be “fast” or risk losing it. There’s a reason that it’s so popular with stores, lol.

If you’re looking for value, definitely better off going to real stores or other hobbyists.

Drive a half hour east to West Palm and check out Blue Earth Corals. Way better selection than Tanks a Lot, and same distance for you.
