I’m looking for places to buy zoa’s and other soft coral that is reasonably priced and healthy.

Second this one. Mike is awesome. Local to me and around half my Zoa came from him. His stuff is top notch.forget vendors talk to @uvaduthie here. send him a PM
True, very pricey, but you can find deals on Ebay, they have good sales from time to time, and their coral club is pretty good. One thing is you get what you pay for with WWC. I have a lot of WWC coral and they always arrive in tip-top health. Paying for quality livestock and quality customer service.WWC is expensive compared to local reefers but they ship coral so that it can survive the apocalypse (also FEDEX not that there’s much difference). Their stuff comes in super healthy based on my limited experience.
100%. I don’t mind the price. Others have complained about it to me, mostly on FB, everyone here knows you get what you pay for. They shipped my Illuminati so that it couldn’t flop around in the bag, was heated well, and even so that the frag plug couldn’t turn over and mess with my Zoa. I would rather pay them for top notch zoa then buy from someone who ships cheap. Plus thing thing is MASSIVE. It’s like 3/4 the size of my paly grandis.True, very pricey, but you can find deals on Ebay, they have good sales from time to time, and their coral club is pretty good.

Right, I bought a xenia frag on sale, like $10, and it had a little cup to prevent damage and some 0.8 ROX carbon in it to keep it healthy. It was pulsing in the bag.100%. I don’t mind the price.

Cherry corals is scheduled to have a sale on Dec. 18th. I have bought several zoas from there. I really like them and their sales have some of the biggest discounts.Cherrycorals.com has great Zoas that are always super healthy.
Thank you! We are glad you loved the coral!Tidal gardens has beautiful Zoas. Their shipping was phenomenal and all the corals I got were healthy.
I have a little to much fun with the eBay auctionsEbay deals from vendors mentioned here can be really great.
I don't know about from the website, but I had a disappointing experience when buying on eBay from Cornbred corals. Pictures were not even a little close to some of what I got. He has 99% ratings because a good review gets you 2 free frags on next order.

@Tidal Gardens I owe you guys a few purchases just to say thanks for all the videos. Than has saved me from a lot of mistakes and pain!Thank you! We are glad you loved the coral!
Personally I don't like to support them. They buy private seller's zoas and resell them for higher. Kinda like flipping houses but they flip zoas. You can see the owner buying zoas in the sellers forum all the time.Try Low Country Coral Boys. If they don't have it, they can get it. They split up the invoice as they get each one in for you (pay as you go) and then ship them all at once as a pack once they've filled your list. It works out great for buying expensive packs, and you only pay shipping once.
I got nice, healthy frags that all had more polyps than I paid for the first time, and I'll definitely be ordering again.
