I bought a lot of my higher end pieces from reefnbid by POTO. They are smaller frags but if you’re patient then you can get some amazing deals. BigR Walt Disney, Jason Fox Jolt, and MattV Time machine are some of my personal favorites. My absolute favorite coral is Walt Disney though.

I have done 2 battle box buys with Adam in the past 6 months and have been very happy with the quality. Did lose 2 during shipping but he always includes an extra frag to cover. You don't need expensive frags to make a nice tank. My favorite right now is a 10 dollar goldenrod frag growing like a weed.

I'd add Angry Birds and Homewrecker...

For an online store, head to @Thirstysreef. Lots of the frags under $200 if you pre-order
Have you bought from thirstysreef before ? Was considering a preorder but haven't met anyone who ordered from them. His prices are almost too good to be true.

Underwater Wonders have some very nice, ultra clean pieces. You can do a pick 5 and get some really nice acros. Some I would recommend that they have is WD, SC orange passion, Pearlberry, Jason Foxflame.
I have been happy with the Jason Fox sales as well. I have shopped the majority of online vendors and these are my 2 favorite.

I have. The lowest prices are often for small frags as stated on his site, but the frags i received were very healthy and colorful. would buy again.

That’s cuz his frags are tiny.

As for a showpiece, hard to beat the Confetti Acropora. It looks just as good in white light as it does in blue. Also easy to find a good size piece for under $100.

If you were planning on picking up 3-4 frags to be a showpiece in your tank, where would you be buying them from?

Would appreciate some specific piece recs/photos in your tanks if you have them!
One would be WWC Helios. That one is stunning as it grows out.

He's the best!! I've purchased my nicest sticks from him and they're seriously better than any other vendor I've gotten acros from. Wouldn't have had the chance due to their cost if not for his ebay!

Going to have to try him out eventually ! My tank is over max capacity for acros though at the moment
