What is everyone’s preferences on online coral stores, I know that there’s obvious big ones like WWC, Tidal gardens and cherry corals. I’ve ordered from them all before but I’m looking for some more interesting corals this time around, has anyone here had any experience with Queen City Corals? Suggestions welcomed and preferred.
Thanks!!

I prefer this site's selling forum or local internet groups. Why pay exorbitant emounts and get things shipped when you can shop local? No shipping, better prices, better health. WYSIWYG.

I am really impressed with the quality from yourreef.com Great corals at great prices. Shipping was excellent even during the midst of our snow storm.

Well the local options around me aren’t in very trustworthy tanks, full of flatworms not to mention routine fish death from ich or you name it in the coral selling tanks

Queen City Corals was previously local to me. I have been to the store once and was quite impressed by how clean and organized the space was.

Can’t comment on pests, I didn’t have any issues on the acro I got.

However, they do not have many mother colonies, most of their frags come from distributors.

I was mainly looking at their bubble corals, I had gotten one down in Dallas that didn’t take the stress of driving all the way home well and I was looking for a replacement, but I am looking also for more online stores that have large mother colonies the frag from because they are used to aquarium life

I believe only hobbyist will have aquacultured Euphyllia. Almost all stores get them maricultured. It is a slow grower to justify aquaculture for most stores.
