cornbred is nice, but man is he expensive!

Cornbread sucks. Most saturates pics. Super expensive and by far the smallest frags ever. I like wwc and jfox

Battle corals and wwc are by far my favorite. I did get some nice frags from living reef Orlando as well.

Top Shelf Aquatics is my go to

If we are talking lps WWC prices are high but they got quality stuff. All the sps gotten directly from them I still have some I’ve had for 4 years. Same with fox I still have a lot of the stuff I ordered 4-5 years ago he has a good variety of different corals!

If you’re in the market for sps Adam @Battlecorals is an awesome vendor! By far my favorite out of all of them.

I shop with Jason Fox and WWC on their respective sites a good bit and I like it. I’ve also ordered from BSA corals a couple times and I’m happy.

I don’t like shopping with cornbred at all honestly. I saw red bugs on his jaw dropper “colony” a couple years ago(his own pics) and when I sent a PM about it to him he deleted the mother colony pic and didn’t respond. If I’m looking to spend $1000+ I expect some level of customer service. Besides, most of his stuff is just renamed middle of the road frags. Example, CB OMG acro is a $200+ extremely saturated PC Rainbow acro.
As a collector, that’s insulting.


Edit, found the pic I had screen capped

Every CB coral I have I got through my buddy who runs his own farm. I feel like if you’re buying direct you’re supporting a bad trend in this hobby. I’m not cheap it has nothing to do with that. If I’m paying $100-300 per frag I expect to get a average size frag look somewhat like original WYSIWYG picture not a 3 polyp pen head lol.

I find AquaSD to be highly over saturated pics as well. Major disappointment on a LTA I purchased. Very healthy and doing great, but even at 20K , no coloration like the pics online.

 

[jp_75]

have you checked cherry corals?

 

[Tuffyyyyy]

Marine Farmers is a great place to get rare softies

 

[BTB117]

Ant other noteable websites? Compiling the list now.

 

[bam123]

There should be a standard where all pictures are taken under 10k coloration. I ordered a Jason Fox Red roses and Hot pepper monti cap. Looks absolutely nothing like the website with no color even on day number 1. Not even close. I am sticking with cultivated reef, chaos aquaculture, wwc, and aquasd. The best deals are your local reefers and local stores. I just got a rock with a hundred purple shrooms on it for 50 dollars. Try getting that online!!!

 

[BTB117]

Any other stores to checkout? Not interested in responses advising to go to my LFS; that wasn’t the focus of the OP

I’m looking for the ballers like JF and CB that have fire!!

I’m shocked there are so few and not many more local growers selling online.
