honestly man, what you get is what you pay for. If you find frags for cheap more than likely they will be unhealty, sick or all beat up and possibly get your other tank mates infected. If you want good genuine frags and livestock youll have to look for quality fish stores.
No such thing as cheap shipping on live corals. Cheap frags, yea, but your going to pay for the shipping.

Depends what you consider cheap.
Person A might get a frag that traditionally costs say 100 for 75 and call that cheap since it is cheaper than normal.
Person B might refuse to pay anything over 5 or 10 for a frag no matter what it is calling anything over 10 a rip off.
What exactly are you looking for?
Xenia and GSP which are very cheap.
Or High End Stuff that is Cheap (But not giving it away for almost nothing cheap like xenia)?
Best thing is to get stuff locally (Frag Swap, LFS, etc.) then Shipping is Free.
Personally I find the Best deals in Classifieds by going to peoples houses (Especially Tank Teardowns) But be weary as a lot of Tank Teardowns I went to were very cheap yes but a lot of stuff died because they people often are neglecting their tanks since they know they will not have anything much longer (I find this very immoral since you are both neglecting animals care and selling poor quality animals to others).
I know it sucks and you are probably mad you are taking the tank down but to the very end take care of your animals please.
It is not fair to the animals or to the people that will be taking care of the animals after you.

Most will give you free shipping on live stock over a certain amount of money, like over $200 or something. They usually don't give you free shipping because livestock has to be shipped overnight.

When I am looking for corals, I usually check out my local reef club first. There are also sponsors on here that offer great package deals. Sometimes you have to spend a little more up front, but end up with a much better deal by getting more corals.
