Hi! I'm looking into new corals for my reef aquarium. But, I need to find good places to buy them. I'm looking for pink corals, and a couple different colors of fan corals. Also an orange tube sea sponge. Any good recommendations? Thanks so much!
 
You said fans and sponges, and the only place I know that "specializes" in them is seahorsesavvy
I've never purchased any myself, but might be worth a look

I have purchased from tidal gardens, world wide corals, aquasd which were all fine though it might depend on what you're looking for (I tend to buy cheap stuff knowing I've got a decent chance of killing it off)
 
Search for post’s for Battle Coral i saw some great review’s on here for BC i got my first order from the last week and it lived up to the great reviews and them some, i’m already working on my next box
 
Haven’t tried Williamson, but they look decent. Right now my recommends is AquaSD aquasd.com , SBB corals are my top recommend especially for Acros, Gonis, and Torches (recently past few months has been expanding into Acans, some Chalices and oddball others), but as of now just does live sales. If yer interested in the SBB we usually keep previous sales threads going until the next one starts. And it’s great spot to meet fellow reefers and have general banter and reef related stuff as well. There’s a few other sites but I generally hit live sales.
 
You might want to try Corals Anonymous coralsanonymous.com . They have a a lot of different things at good prices.

For vendors:

Sbb corals and battlecorals.
 
Cherry Corals has a polyp sale some good prices...
 
For SPS corals (last tank) I had good luck with Battlecorals and Jason Fox. My current tank is LPS focused and so far I have been happiest with stuff from Unique corals and Whitlyn Aquatics. Have first orders coming from Queen City and Cherry soon
 
seahorsesavvy is your best bet. You can still get pink carnations from them, but they need advanced aquarist to keep them alive. I think you may need to change title to "soft corals" as I dont think you are looking for sps.
 
A lot of good mentions above. I would also throw tidal gardens in there as well. I've ordered a few times with them and have always been happy with them. They have a good selection and have pictures in different light spectrums of each coral to give you a better idea of how it will actually look in your tank.
 
If you are interested in sps. I highly recommend fraghouse corals
 
I had a look a lot of tiny booger sized pieces and over priced imo
 
Looks like fraghouse corals just made a holiday drop. Enjoy
