Go to online store for coral?

[Don_Jorge]

So I ordered from aquarium depot and as I'm waiting for a knock at my door I realize I have a message saying my hammer coral was attacked and id have to wait till next week for a new shipment. is this typical of online stores? anyway I was wondering where everyone else shops from to avoid none sense like this in The future.

I'd actually say this is a *good* sign that they're being honest with you. A dishonest store would send off the sick/damaged one and hope you don't file a claim or deny your claim. Things like this happen, and while it's unfortunate, it shouldn't reflect poorly on the store.

Anyways, I've used Tidal Gardens (overpriced but good), and Cali Kid Corals (don't trust the over-saturated pics on the site, but they have a good selection at decent prices).
