Anyone have good a experience ordering coral from Live Aquaria?

Looking at a coral that I would classify as fairly delicate. I'm concerned about it being flung around.

How has your guys experience been?

I ordered a yellow leather from there. S. Elegans. It is notorious for being delicate and hard to ship. It arrived from the WI facility to me in FL. Great shape and has doubled in size in the last year. Have ordered from them a few times over the years.

I've ordered coral many times over the years and they are as good as any for packing up any coral.
You do see a thread now and again where something went wrong.
Usually it's UPS or Fedex that is the culprit.

The aquacultured ones are under aquaculture. They are all divided into categories. So the rest are wild or they have a mariculture section too.
