Just a thread to share to fellow reefers where you buy your prized SPS corals. Looking for sites with good deals or your LFS steals, lets see them!!

I agree with everyone else, I buy from my local reef club. I have found that my LFS are crap when it comes to SPS!

I find the stores markup to be painful in my area. I mean come on, a 2" pink birdsnest for $70 *LOL* Insane. & half the time the SPS looks dead or in the process.
All the locals in my area have meets, trades and so forth. Also we sell it to eachother for cheap & to noobs to help them get into the hobby. Overall a win - win.

Each persons profile and post should say if they ship, I thinks it's 50/50 from what I see. Even if you find one in your state that ships you can save a lot by using USPS express.

A lot of the members from frags.org ship their corals. I have had good luck with selling and buying corals on there so far.
