So what are some good places to get some sticks online ? I'm in Central FL and used to get my sticks from LRO,TSA,Oceans Direct.

Before I go any futher,this is not the place for debate,no bashing,trash talking or anything of that nature. Just a place to list reputable places to buy quality sps corals,are a reasonable price.

-BSA
-Boom Corals
-Cherry Corals
-Battle Corals
-Chaos Aquaculture
-PacificEastAquaculture
-Big R
-Shipwreck Cove
-AustinAquaFarms
-Unique Corals
-Vivid Aquariums
-Reef Nation
-BarrierReef Aquariums
-Cultivated Reef
-Aquarium Specialty
-ASD
-Coral Collectors

If you have any other sites to list,please do list them and I will add them to the list for others to use for the future.
 
For named, collectors stuff, then RMF, BattleCorals and Boom are tops on my list. No hype, no BS, just good corals that actually look like they describe.

I have gotten some corals from Pacific East while ordering some clams. They were not expensive. They are usually generic like "aussie shortcake" or the like, but they were healthy, well encrusted and good size. I would recommend them for non-collector stuff.

I will buy from any of them at a show when you can see the specimen and there are no tricks and the prices are down from their site prices. Live sales usually have better prices too, but the photos can still be crap sometimes.

If you are open to suggestions, then some hobbyists have better prices and better frags than these shops. AV99, Ty, Therman and many others can get you great acropora at great prices. I prefer these types of deals myself.
 
BC has some awesome frags,I have been looking at the past few days in hope of trying him out when I get my tank set up. I'm always browsing what known sites I can think of or remember,and I also want to compose a list for other people wondering the same thing.

I see a lot of AV99's stuff on other sellers website,and would love to get some of Bubbaque's stuff,and I THINK he is local to me so what would be nice to get a hold of some of his stuff.

Unfortunately I feel like PEA's selection has gone down hill and they are trying to keep up with the Jones's for the most part nowadays. But I have always loved their stuff,and I love that all of their stuff is true to life colors.

I want people to keep adding to this list though,I feel like it would help a lot of people out.

Thisis dope.. im always sketched out to buy live aquatic creatures online.. how often do you guys buy fish online? Ive been going to this local petshop here around my neighborhood named rainbow pet shop, but some of these frags online look bad butt! really tempted to buy. just a little worried about the longevity of the creature. what have your experiences been like? thank you in advance!
 
Adam at Battle corals one the coolest most personable vendors I’ve done business with. He actually talks or text himself, and is interested in getting you cool sticks.

WWC I’ve been happy with them the stuff is tough lived through everything I’ve subjected it to. I like that I can go there if I’m in Orlando hand pick stuff and have shipped to TX. They have a formula it works. They’ll do right by you. Prices have increased that’s business.

Vivid- they make great photo art/coral **** hands down the best. Ordered few things not much else to say.

TSA- I’ve heard a lot of good stuff. I have planned to get their Cherry bomb tenius with confidence/without hesitation.

Lately I've been really enjoying this vendor

You have to watch their inventory for a while as it changes frequently, but I've bought two orders of fish and corals from them now and couldnt be happier. They charge appropriate costs for Acro frags ($10-20)
