Route66Marine.com... anyone ever bought from them?

I'd seen Route 66 Corals spoken well of, but then apparently they shut down some time later. In looking for them I came across route66marine.com. The pics look nice, just wondering if it's real, maybe even the same guy(s). Anyone ever bought from them before?

Im all my searching for online vendors (live in colorado, some fish have to be mail ordered) Ive never ever seen that website pop up in my searches, so I would be weary but maybe someone has got from them!

I've had the good fortune of learning that what you see on some vendor's website is not necessarily representative of their facility in any way. Websites are easy. A genuine coral farm is something quite different.

Route66 Marine is genuine. And they get some amazing livestock. But they are wholesale only. They don't sell to end users. They are legit. They have been around a long time, they did close for a bit years and years ago, but they came back even better, with better import sources. They have some farmed corals but the majority of their inventory is wild imported corals.

I have dealt with them on a wholesale level, their product is pretty good but most of it is wild.

But no retail. Darn. Thanks!
