Hi Reefers,

Hope you are doing well.

I live in Dubai and I have seen what the options are here and how they are priced.

I have done my home work and feel some of the needed corals are super overpriced, is it crazy of me to buy in a different country and try shipping them to UAE?

Your opinion counts don't hold back.

Its not crazy, after all many of these corals are shipped from halfway around the world. I think your larger issue is you may have a hard time finding a company that will ship outside their country. There are a lot of regulations regarding international shipping, even more when it comes to livestock.

If there is nothing local is the situation the same in the other emirates? If not might be worth trip to Sharjah or Abu Dhabi? In a pinch lots of Chinese shops will “ discreetly” mail you just about anything to include TCNs ;)

True, I have been having bad like with the live animal transportation. I have family in UK. I was think of asking them to ship to me, but I am scared I loose the coral in the process... and time is money on those fellows.
