US stores that ship to the U.K.

[Danjoc92]

Hello all. I am in the U.K. and I have been looking online for some new lPS and soft corals. Most places here seem to stock the same colours however the YouTubers I watch and also people I follow on Instagram have some amazing pieces. Have any U.K. reefers successfully bought coral from the US and does anyone have any recommendations of stores that would ship to me ?

I'm sure you've found them online but the The Coral Centre in Fareham is very good. They are a fairly small shop but are an actual coral farm versus being just a retailer so while the website only tends to show smaller frags for sale but there's more going on behind the scenes. Obviously if you were closer!..

I dont think anyone from the us will ship corals over because they really need to be there in a day or 2 unless they will die. Due to customs and shipping costs it wouldnt make sense to order from the us and even if you did I doubt they would honor arrive alive guarantee

Ah that’s rubbish. I just figured If they can come from Indonesia and Aus a trip across the pond would be a breeze.
Thanks for all the responses though everyone.
