Since joining reef 2 reef I have seen a few very awesome companies to deal with that I didn't know much about before. I can't choose they all seem like they bring the fire and are very awesome to deal with. The few that I have been thinking are unique battle corals wet pets and rocky mountain. I feel like you can't go wrong with any of them. So I see alot of you guys have your favorite and seen on all 4 of them they have the best hands down. What made you pick one over the other. I do like unique for there $20 shipping other than that all seem the same kind of.
 
I haven't bought from all the vendors on here maybe 60% of them but you will not find a better guy than Adam @ Battle Corals. There's a good handful of individual sellers on R2R that trim down their DT 1-2x a yr that are good folks also.
 
I am partial to Battle Corals. Fantastic selection of sps, several that are really unique to his collection, always willing to make up a pack and give you a great deal, and amazing customer service.

Also, as someone who ships a lot, I sympathize with those that charge for shipping...it is painfully expensive and to eat the shipping cost devalues the corals that they have worked so hard to grow and propagate. It is just part of the cost of getting quality corals when you don't live in a place with a decent reefing community.

+1 man def one of the best ones .....
 
In no particular order:

- Reef Pets
- WWC
- Cherry Corals
- Battle Corals
- Your Reef

All very good vendors.
 
I've ordered from Unique Corals a couple times because of their shipping cost being so low. I ordered one of their, "stock frags" and was not disappointed. The piece I got was at least 1.5 times bigger than the advertised size and was very healthy and encrusted. I ordered a second and was again very happy. I also got a phone call from Scott thanking me for my order. They have a lot of the classics on hand and have decent prices that haven't wavered even after they dropped their shipping price. I also appreciate how frequently they update their website/stock.

I haven't order from any of the others listed here though, so I have no other input to add for or against.

I am fortunate enough to drive and pick up from Adam at BC. Truly a great guy. On my last trip I mentioned that my tank tank crashed and I was loading up the new tank. When he heard about the crash he loaded me up with a bunch of nice freebies~!~!

I've also ordered from Jared at RMF and was very pleased.

Recently I placed an order with Cultivated Reefs and Fed-Ex put my package on the wrong delivery truck. By the time I got it the next day all the sticks were in distress. I notified CR and they were willing to work with me if they died. Luckily they survived but it was nice to know they would have worked with me if they didn't.
 
Adam owner of battlecorals usually gets my business. Corals are always in great shape and you can't beat his prices.
 
All of the above are top notch. I think rocky mountain frags, the coral kings and sexy corals should be on that list. They all have some really nice looking stuff.
 
I've only made a couple of orders for sps online. One from AquaSD and one from Battlecorals. I'm very happy with both of those orders, especially the size of the frags from AquaSD and the customer service from Adam at BC.
 
I should mention too that I have purchased and traded with Rocky Mountain Frags and he also has excellent top notch healthy corals and service, and have been impressed with Cherry Corals...still need to make it up there to visit. I did not have a positive experience with Sexy Corals.
 
Battlecorals = the best hands down for me. Great customer service never in a rush will hold your frags till they encrust Adam is top class. Great corals I have a pack waiting now lol.
Reefpets = great customer service great corals.
Thecoralkings = have some nice acros got a few from them good people. Big up Dan.
