Coral Frag Sites

[Joe Fish]

Where do you all buy your coral frags? Since I'm without a salty lfs I'll need to mail order all my stuff. I'm not looking for large corals, but little frags. I plan on attending a reef swap in November but i would like to add a few by then.

Here's a list someone sent me from another forum of a bunch of coral vendors. The only place I got corals from was LiveAquaria. I cannot vouch for any of these:

If anyone likes this list, I can make a sticky.

Look for a local club... best deals by far and no shipping. I've been getting all of mine from people off of this site:

woah.... I was only expecting a site or 2. Thanks Lotus! Looks like I'll have to looking to them and see which one I like. I'm looking for a place I can get a bunch of frags at once. I don't have a local reef club so that is out of the question.

[Lorna]

WOW, can you please sticky this? that is an incredible list.

 

[Cichlid-Man]

Wow lotus...sticky.

I can vouch for Cherry Corals. Used them before and got excellent service and frags.

I usually will only ever look at sponsers of certain sites like NR and RC. Some of the best ones i've heard about are Zoanuts, Your Reef, Fraggle Reef, World Wide Coral, and Vivid Aquariums. Those seem to be some favorites apart from other hobbyists.

 

[Joe Fish]

The coralreeffarm.com looks like a good site. A decent selection of corals and the prices aren't too bad.... Just need to find a place that has PPE's.

 

[Cichlid-Man]

Cherry Corals has them $50/polyp. Gotta buy 2 at least. $55 flat rate shipping. Thats where i got mine from. Payed for 2 and they gave me a frag with 3 polyps, hey i didn't complain.

ExoticFrags.us has them as well. $45/polyp. $45 flat rate shipping. Never ordered from them myself.

 

[Joe Fish]

I'd have a hard time paying for 1 frag and shipping. I'm looking for a bunch of frags to offset the shipping cost. I'm liking vivid aquariums.... I just might place an order.

 

[Cichlid-Man]

Vivid has some really nice stuff. I have almost ordered from them on numorous occasions. Just always kept spending money elsewhere so i couldn't haha. Their Acans are amazing.

 

[TRe]

defintly sticky this! coral reef farm is one of my favorite lfs's id defintly recomend them, cultivated corals is also local for me and i recomend them aswell, elitereefs is good (home of the $10 frags) all they have is zoos and u gotta get on the email list but ive got sum good stuff from them, world wide corals is said to be the most amazing lfs ever! people from my reef club are always making the 3+ hour trip to go to this store (suposivly any and every rare coral available)

 

[TRe]

lol i cant see paying $100 for 2 polyps plus shipping lol.... and i thought this kid in my reef club was nuts selling them for $25/polyp

 

[TRe]

im lucky enough to have so many lfs' local to me that i havnt evn seen them all.... most of the time i get stuff direct from other reefers and save alot

 

[Joe Fish]

You are lucky! I have ZERO! Well, I have 1 that is quite horrible. No corals and most of the tanks are overrun by algae. Although, their freshwater tanks are very nice.

 

[Cichlid-Man]

lol i cant see paying $100 for 2 polyps plus shipping lol.... and i thought this kid in my reef club was nuts selling them for $25/polyp

Thats why you combine it with more stuff and get some locals in on the deal. Shipping is nothing then!

 

[brooklynfish]

Great thread!

Sticky!

 

[brooklynfish]

I spoke too soon.
