I highly recommend Saltyreef. I Purchased a Colorado Sunburst Anemone, and it looks amazing. Healthy corals, great packaging, fast delivery, and excellent communication. Will buy from again.

Didnt take a photo but I Purchased a beautiful Jawbreaker and Maui Wowie from Saltyreef, I got them yesterday and visual inspection and dipping didnt reveal any pests! He is very communicative, because of the storm/hurricane he made sure to check UPS website to see if it would impact shipping and thankfully it didnt.

I should mention he also included a freebie gonzo !

For packaging:
the box had a little heatpack to keep them warm
The mushrooms were mounted on frag plugs which came in little sauce cups, the bottom of the plug was stuck through the bottom of the cup so they wouldnt move around through all of that handling from the shipping company
These little guys were all double bagged in case of any leakage of water which there wasn't

He wanted to be confident the corals would arrive here safely, and they did the next day.
very happy with my purchase!

As already said Salty is an awesome dude and easy to deal with. Cant remember what came up, maybe a shipping delay that was totally out of anyone's control but before it was even sorted out Salty was ready to make it right. Never came to that and shrooms arrived perfectly healthy and doing awesome in my system. Terrible pic and hard to see but All JB are starting to show red specks and stripes at this point. Dont sleep on these old school JB's. Totally unlike the fussy, detaching new school JB floating around. Super healthy strong shrooms. Digging the color on these as well:D

Purchased 3 beautiful pieces (gods spawn, magic carpet and Godzilla )from @Saltyreef over the weekend, received today in perfect condition and in great packaging . These healthy corals were in my qt and flourishing within minutes of being introduced, will be keeping my eye out on anything else he decides to sell.

They all have some red in them. The color on cap is what sets them apart for me. As we'll as strong hardiness!They really never missed a beat coming to my system.Love the old school genes man can't wait to fill this bowl up with salty shrooms haha.
That little one I got is a sleeper for sure. I may separate her to her own bowl so I can keep my eye on her and babies:D

Purchased a jawbreaker with some red and a spot of green through private message. Communication and packaging was first rate, the mushrooms (he threw in a freebie) were super healthy and open. The jb's color was crazy bright.
Would happily purchase from Saltyreef again.

Just received a sizable order of jawbreakers from Saltyreef. I had a great experience. He sent multiple rounds of pictures to help me decide what I wanted and was great about communication. I would definitely purchase from him again.

In general the jawbreakers are insane. They pop yellow!! A really unique mushroom! Very happy with the experience.

I was looking for an mp10 and SaltyReef pm'ed me with one for a great price. He's super responsive and helpful. He threw in a 3d printed nem guard as well. Great experience overall!

Purchased a Milwaukee refractometer. Everything went smooth. The item was as described and shipping was very prompt. I would not hesitate to deal with Salty in the future!

I purchased some mushrooms from @Saltyreef and I received them with no issues. It was a pleasure doing the transaction and texting to stay informed. Thanks again and looking forward to doing business again.

Just completed a Jawbreaker trade with @Larry Bowens Jr
He was very communicative throughout the length of the trade and the specimen arrived very healthy. The transaction/trade was hassle free.

Would do business with him again in the future. Very trustworthy member. Highly recommended.
