buying coral

Hello,
So besides live aquaria, what are some other places to buy coral from? I live in northern Minnesota, so fish stores arent my best option. Anyone have sites they can recommend with reliable products/shipping? I'm looking for LPS and softies in particular. My fiance and I already have a twelve gallon aquapod thats borderline overstocked, this is just for future reference. We're looking at a bigger tank and would like to start branching out in the hobby.
Thanks, any help would be great, or just advice on how to choose.
Danielle

check ebay you should be able to find a few people close enough that you wouldn't need to pay for shipping you can just pick it up
i found 5 people with in 30 miles of me
there are some that are close and shipping is not that bad
if you would like and if i am allowed i can give you some names of great people to buy from on ebay
and always check feedback

Live Aquaria, Phishybusiness, and Marine Depot are all good. I hesitate to recommend ebay for fish.
