Live Aquaria - Leather Corals

[msujohn]

I am looking to add 4 or 5 basic (nothing fancy) branching/Finger type leather corals - that have different color's. It seems like most online shops don't carry a large variety and the ones that do are fairly expensive to ship. I looked at Live Aquaria and a decent amount. Any issues with getting these types of coral of Live Aquaria? Aqua Corals has alot of these types of coral as well - but the shipping costs will kill me. Any other online vendors that I should consider?

No issues with shipping soft corals they are very forgiving. That said I like to use only Diver’s Den from Live Aquaria because I’ve tried to order from their non WYSIWYG and don’t get exactly what’s described.

The problem with basic leather corals is that there are not many different colors to start with. Pretty much just brown, pink, green and maybe (if your lucky) a yellow. Divers Den or some other vendor that has WYSIWYG is the only way you can pick different colors if ordering online.

Pablo at Marine Farmers of course. The best selection, but no closer to you than aquacorals.

Most vendors have free shipping over a certain amount.

LA is alright for getting the basics. If you're looking for something more colorful I recommend elsewhere (or divers den). I have had success with some nice varieties from both Unique Corals & Marine Farmers.
