AustinAquaFarms has great corals for a great price. Matt and James are very knowledgeable and helpful. They sell a wide variety of high quality LPS and have added a few SPS now. Their shipping is excellent, great care in packaging and boxing.

All corals in photo came from AAF. Tank is 120 gallon mixed reef, ~2 years old, but still filling in spaces. Ignore tank bottom, I am in process of removing sand and going BB.

@Zoanthids! Just received my 1st order from them today and have never seen anyone else package everything up as nice as they did! Everything opened up within an hour. Couldn't be happier! I've ordered from many other online vendors and been happy but these guys are on another level!

Aquatic Art in Highlands Ranch (SE Denver metro) has been great. Good selection and super helpful. I would order online if I was dead set on a specific type and color combo though.

Ok this is an easy one today BUT special because the world is going to find out who your favorite vendor for buying coral is! You get to share your love with the world and give a nice shout out to your go to coral provider! There is ONE catch though. YOU MUST ONLY NAME ONE!!! Feel free to tag them and maybe they'll hook you up with a free frag! :)

So here is the QOTD!

What vendor/company is your MOST FAVORITE place to buy coral from? (NAME ONLY ONE)

Love my local. They are amazing, patient, understanding and are only interested in helping me understand and be successful even when success meant “NO, this is not a good idea” or “Of course your crazy and we would love to help you make that work” I trust them. I have went online only a couple time and really like @TopShelfAquatics and @uniquecorals. They have both been wonderful and have been so helpful with any additional follow up questions, problems and replacements. Super easy to work with and great response time.

I have ordered from all the big guys, ASD,TSA CR UC and the best value with shipping and quality is still CORALS.COM by far. My best pieces are from there still alive and looking awesome. I cant recommend them enough especially if you are looking for some nice RED GONI's

Because we live in a rural area, online ordering is my only option. I currently have only a few with a plan to add more as I learn about this hobby. I’m pleased to hear of others using these online sources, too, and that they are reliable.
