Poll: Soft coral only vendor?

[Dr. Dendrostein]

The $3.50 coral I mentioned, there's other fees CITIES permit (seller only),packing fees, FOB (air line fees) still cheaper then buying from anyone in USA. And you get healthier specimens 95% of time.

There a middle man . So they have more choices, different regions/contacts. I'll give you an example. Vietnam M/L dendronephthya $3.50ea., ask them how much they offer them. You'll get an idea, where on the pecking order they are to pricing. Also if you can deal direct with regions you'll get healthier specimens. If you become a vendor betterreputation for you.
Just talking

The OP asked if there were any vendors that specialized in aquacultured softies - As he/she wasn't aware of any. I don't know why you think I need an idea of where I'm at in the pecking order, I simply answered a question. Not to mention the OP was talking about aquacultured corals, and you are talking about maricultured corals. Why in the world would I waste my time with permits and importing regulations to save what, $40? No thanks, I have a real job.

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]
