Whats the best place to order corals from?

We have tried marine depot, but they are inconsistent in their quality and its usualy hit or miss.

A green frogspawn will be gray, or a green hammer will be brown.

Have you tried the vendor feedback forum?

I know alot of people like ReeferMadness.

Personally, I have gotten all of my corals from reefers local to me, or more recently I have purchased through people selling here on RC.

I have great success with Liveaquaria and Etropicals(both owned by Drsfoster and smith). There aquacultured SPS are very nice and healthy. There LPS and softies are nice also. Etropicals Riccordia mushrooms are fantastic.

I have bought from reefermadness and I was very disappointed with there corals from size to healthiness.

Premium aquatics is nice also except there selection is limited and there website of there corals they have in stock is not very up to date.
