Absolutely. Most of the auctions are chopped up mariculture corals which are hard to keep and high risk of pests.If you are a newer a reefer I would actually recommend avoiding live sales for a while and deciding what corals you want specifically. Live sales run a bit on impulse urgency.
TSA, WWC, Tidal Gardens and Jason Fox are all very reputable vendors with a variety of corals. Many sponsors here as well to choose from.
@Barb0713 - Tidal Gardens is in central ohio - they're probably a good option. You might want to check some of the ohio clubs - there are some big ones - and always hobbyists willing to ship
