Buying online coral

What website is the best for buying corals for a reasonable price? I don’t have any lag and am starting to get into coral buying. I’m looking for nice zoas and lps

If you go to the sponsor page here on r2r there are a lot of different ones the sponsor r2r and I feel you would do good with any of them. Tomorrow "Joe Knows Reefs" will be doing a live sale and you could get some really good deals if you get into it.

None local? No club? If you and/or your tank are new I'd highly recommend buying corals 1-2 at a time vs in large batches.

@mcarroll has a good point dont want to spend 100+ on corals just to have them slowly die in front of you. not fun, not sure where you live but i would try to find other refers, clubs ect. even in my little town on 10K in the middle of wyo. I did find 2 other ppl. its nice to have local reefing buddies to help out trade frags and talk story...

that said I hear you no LFS around me either so all my reefing stuff coming in the mail. like @BedrockIOMC said the sponser forums have a lot of good vendors I just placed an order with @Cultivated Reef i have always been happy with them. word to the wise tho make sure you understand the needs of the coral you get before you buy.

I have also gotten corals mailed by aquaSD, liveaquria and Kp aqutics all came in happy and healthy.

good luck!
