What online coral store do you recommend?

[Reef Devils]

I want order some corals online. What place do you recommend? Every time I order online I feel like it’s overpriced.

I have ordered a few times from AquaSD and have always had a good experience. I feel like they have really good prices and well, they have a really good clearance section.

@Thirstysreef, @TopShelfAquatics

For SPS, NOBODY beats the quality of @Battlecorals or the prices of his battleboxs

Would recommend 1000%

A quick recent search on these forums would disagree with you about them having good customer service…. Seen numerous posts about them in just the past couple weeks.
Not to mention they are some of the worst about having things be super overpriced and a tiny nub of a frag.
In fact AquaSD is my #1 store I tell everyone I know to avoid….. they are that bad

Ok thanks for letting me know.

Have you tried corals.com?

Can’t say I’ve ever used them but the fact that every single photo on their site is edited to improve saturation I’d have a hard time trusting them to be honest.

I had a great experience with TSA. However, there are a ton of reputable and great coral vendors on here.

Yeah I have had great experience with TSA but I want to try some new. Sometimes I feel like the prices on TSA are a bit much.

Ok good to know. Thank you

Iv bought from queencity corals quite a bit and have been happy. They ship via UPS instead of fed ex which is a plus where I live.

I'm simply stating my experiences. Everything I have ordered has been top notch and has always been bigger than I expected. My experiences have been great and I have placed numerous orders with them. I will 100% continue to order from them.

At least with TSA, their quality matches the higher prices.
they have some really nice corals.

Yeah, it’s nice to know that you can trust them and their corals are high-quality

I might just do an order from TSA

If you’re looking for SPS specifically I’d HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend sending @Battlecorals a message. He’s the only one Deal with anymore other than locals.

I say strong no to ASD

^This for SPS. I've never been disappointed.

I also like @Tidal Gardens but they are local so I've never had coral shipped from them but don't remember reading about any issues. They have some awesome sales. I just started my zoa gardens with some nice multi polyp frags for $10.00 each.

I have heard of tidal gardens being great. I will look into them.

I’m not looking for sps at the moment.

I can second the tidal gardens recommendation. I've placed several large orders with them and have always been very happy with what I got. The shipping is well done with each coral placed in its own hard plastic container and clearly labeled.

I actually had a delivery of TSA (also recommend) and Tidal Gardens on the same day. One thing I noticed is tidal gardens uses much larger frag plugs and has much larger frags. I've always got a pretty good size frag from them. I tend to buy from them in bulk during their sales and get the free shipping.

edit: I have also purchased from corals.com and they were also great. No complaints.

I think I might give tidal gardens a try.

I just saw this coral on the website. Is it a good coral?
