hey guys ,
My local fish store closed, and I live in a pretty remote area. I have been looking at purchasing some zoas online. Was curious which sites are best, and who everyone’s had the best luck with? Thanks!

Unique Corals, well know. If I had to only order from online, I'd give them a chance

WWC never disappoints. I really like cultivated reef as well for quality zoas. I ordered utter chaos, god of war, strawberry wines, and blondies about 2 weeks ago. I have new polyps on all the frags.

In the picture you can see the healthy zoas the day they arrived from cultivated reef. The bob marley and aoi pictured are from wwc

So you’re one of the guys who was quicker than me on the AOI during Fragtoberfest!?

Ha! Thanks for the help.

Most of the vendor sponsors are awesome and some of the members are great to deal with. Just read the rules/warnings on the sales forums. :D
Thanks for the info! I haven’t had enough time to dig into many of the threads yet.

I personally bought all my Zoas from FISHNREEF.com and had a good experience with them. I've only ordered from them once, but is was about 90% of the contents of my tank and everything they delivered looked like what I ordered. Only 1 frag (out of 25) detached from the plug, but some superglue fixed him right up.

I've bought zoa/palys from many vendors online over the last 8 years. My LFS does not carry anything beyond standard grade wholesale quality corals.

I'd recommend Cherry Corals for most. Most of their zoa/palys have been aquacultured and are very hardy. Pests are quite few, if any. Some of these other vendors though, you will need to quarantine heavily, even if they are sponsors on this forum.

My go to for zoas:
Local Reefers (Facebook groups/forums)

https://www.calikidcorals.com/collections/zoas-and-palys-2
https://aquasd.com/
https://squareup.com/store/ifragit
https://www.cherrycorals.com/

They're in no particular order. For high end stuff: facebook, r2r, wwc, cali kid, ifragit. For cheaper, but nice zoas: local reefers, facebook, tidal gardens, aqua sd, ifragit. I bookmark all of these. I am sure there are plenty of other good websites out there.

Cherry Corals has never disappointed me. I've ordered from them at least 5 times. They have a live sale coming up. You can typically pick up some really good deals during the live sales.
