Lack of Soft Coral Vendors

[Reefing102]

If you contact KP or Reeftopia and tell them what you want, there’s a good chance that they will get it for you on their next collecting trip. I have asked for and received, specific size gorgs and fish that were listed as ‘out of stock’

Not to detract from the thread as I love softies too, but what fish is this?

Try Gulf Coast Ecosystems! They have a huge selection for macro and gorgs and the prices are more than reasonable. I've gotten several from them and they were nice sized pieces and are thriving today. Russ was quick to respond to all my questions and were shipped amazingly well too.

If you were in Canada I could certainly help you out. Have lavender leathers, various nepthia, various long tentacle and some purples, also gorganian.

Omg, can you be a US citizen for like a couple days? lol Nice bud! So beautiful, love that sinularia!

A good friend of mine deals with several stores and a couple import companies, he knows what I like and just picks them up for me. He has an amazing Yellow with purple polyps that I am drooling to get, just need to wait a little longer for it to grow.

Check out Salty Bottom Reef Company for gorgs too.
Also be aware that they and KP Aquatics go out diving once a week (ish) so their stock updates often.

Man I've searched hard tonight and found 2 vendors who I would qualify as a Soft coral Vendor, MarineFarmers and Aquacorals, everyone else has like 1-2 pieces or just consider zoas/shrooms and thats it. No leathers, sinularia, gorg, etc.

Making me think I should just do what everyone else is doing and go full on sticks...ugh. Really wanted a nice softy tank, but man its difficult to find the corals I want.

Not to be "that guy" but we have a live sale today with zoas, shrooms, leathers, gorgs etc

I just got a fat order of HUGE gorg's from sea horse savvy, highly recommend. Also, I see your in the LA area, I can also hook you up with some frags.

 

[VegasReefer]

Why don't you just coordinate an order with your lfs? What are you looking for? I have no issues what so ever getting soft corals

Liveaquaria sells a lot of different leather corals. That said, check with your local fish store, there’s a good chance they can order most any leather corals. Also check out cultivated reef. They and aquacorals are both local vendors here in Maine. I actually volunteered at Aquacorals for a few years and they have a pretty decent selection of leather corals.

If your really looking for gorgonians I highly recommend KP aquatic!!! I’ve order most of my gorgs from them and they always come in huge and perfect shape.

I have a number of softies. See my thread. Will sell some frags. Will trade etc.
Pictures show most things.

You don’t have a build thread badge link

You might want to checkout @ChaosAquaculture. They are where I buy all my coral from. Excellent customer service as well and coral always come in healthy. They also do auction on Facebook every Friday and Sunday. You can get some real good deals. Here is pic of some coral Ive gotten from them.
