Just wondering where everyone is buying their way cool sps frags at? watching some of the propagated coral threads and most seem to be the pretty common pieces.
thanks
Jeff
 
There are quite of few vendors here on the site. When you see something you like and if it's a rare piece you better jump on it. They go quick!
Good luck.
 
Hit up Jared at Rocky Mountain Frags, him and Adam at Battle corals have the SPS game on lock!
 
Sexy corals
Battle corals
Rocky mountain frags

Those guys always have sick stuff
 
can i push this question furthur and ask how does the shipping go ?... i remember a friend who used to be in the salt hobby said he would go to an airport and pick them up
 
I'm lucky enough to have Rock Mountain Frags 20 minutes from my house. I'm going there this weekend to pick up my big frag pack. Can't wait!!
 
RMF is definitely one of the very best out there. Start there.
 
battle corals. This was my first order from Adam and this is how it looked when it came in without any adjustments and on a camera phone.

I bought a signature rainbow bta from sexy corals and I am not speaking for everyone but I was not happy with my purchase. I had to threaten a paypal discrepancy to get a reply on the eta on shipping. Fed ex screwed up and delivered it way late, then flipped the box in the air! Then after my nem did not survive, a very slow death, (because it was not doa) he offered to sell me another one for $150.00. No thank you! Im a stay at home mom and saved all of my money for the piece and couldn't afford to lose another $150.00 plus shipping, had anything happen. I had perfect parameters, drip acclimated, did everything just right. Such a bummer. I am not saying you will have the same experience even though I have read the same customer service stories. He did send me a free nuclear shroom for the inconvenience from waiting which is beyond kind! And the nem was soooooo incredibly beautiful!
 
I've gotten stuff from (and would recommend) Sexy Corals, Aqua SD, and Jason Fox. I've also heard great stuff about Battle Corals and Unique Corals.

I've also been really happy with the SPS I bought from Gary at Reef Pets. It wasn't expensive "high end" stuff, but great colors and healthy stuff. He may have more high end stuff if you message him.
 
If your into E-Bay actions, there are a lot of nice sleeper pieces that pass through Golden Basket.
 
How do you guys deal with the risks of introducing any bugs or acro eating pests? Almost afraid to order from a high volume seller. I dont have any qt setup.
tks
Jeff
