I already posted this in the vendor experiences section but figured more people would see it here
I placed an order today with this business for 1 golden tail moray, 1 queen angel, some macro algae, red brittle starfish, and 6 chitons. I received a call from them saying they could not get the chitons due to high tide but will give me the plants for free due to the inconvenience, they also said the red brittle star was missing a leg and said they would give him to me for free as well. They have been very helpful and the prices are unbeatable on many of their UNIQUE livestock. When I say unique I mean it. This guy collects everything himself in South Florida and carries some species of fish and inverts that most places don't carry. He has an option on their site to view what's currently in stock and has a list of prices. He updates this list regularly and shows you when last updated. When I mentioned some of the prices are unbeatable I am talking about things like the bluehead wrasse at only 1$ each.. parrotfish at 3$ each and many more at a very very good price. I have been speaking with Matt through email and he has been very helpful and informative. He sent pictures through email to help me pick out my stock. My order was shipped today and is scheduled to arrive at 10:30 tomorrow and I will be updating with photos of the fish and their packaging. I hope all goes well with this and others will buy from this company I love supporting small businesses and I hope others will at least take a look at their store.

The order came in today everything was packaged extremely well. the eel was packaged in a large container with holes drilled in it then the container was placed in two large bags of water. The queen angel is looking very healthy. The red brittle star was bigger than described. And I got about 20 of the shaving bush and hamildea marine plants for free. Not only that but he had called me and checked up on how everything was.
Overall I give this place two thumbs up. By far best experience so far ordering online and I don't have a single complaint!

Interesting stuff. Next trip to the Keys I'll see if they'll let me stop in and see the place... maybe get a few pics?
