Soft Coral

[Payne Train]

Does anyone have any recommendations on where to get decent prices on soft corals. Leathers, sinularia, tree types.
I can't seem to find much on the bigger named online places - and when I do, its like $70-$100 for a 1 1/2 - 2 inch frag

I look about every day at marketplace and continue to recheck the big name guys - but it doesn't seem that softies are very important to most of those places.

Thanks in advance !

Unfortunately right now with the flight issues, everything or every price on corals and fish are sky-high here's one of my wholesalers that keeps reminding us the surcharge,

Also it makes more business sense for retailers to ship in more expensive corals to make it worth their while on the surcharge. Bummer

I figured that was the case It makes sense.
Thanks for the reply ---

In Toronto Canada and it’s surrounding areas, we have not had any orders filled and shipped since Covid, and we have not raised prices as inventory was purchased before Covid.

Some of our mainstay fish and fast growing corals continue to come from our local reefing community and again, their is no additional charges.

Until new air shipments commence, any additional fees are simply a money grab.

Even before Covid, I could never understand why US prices were so much higher.
As an example, I understand 4-6” maxi clams in the US are around $300, where in Canada, I have never paid more than $120.

I always thought everthing was cheaper in the US.....apparently not.
