Buying Corals Online

The only place I bought officially from a online store is Mad Jelly Corals. Everything went amazing. I personally prefer to go to a location and hand pick though. I would trust MJC and Big Show (no offense beanbagfrags, but at the time of this post you are still setting up mostly).
We offer a 5 day arrive alive guarantee when buying online so there is no risk.

I typically go to houses, not stores. Nothing really against them, but my hours are crap and is sometimes difficult to get to. Mind you, that may be an issue of the past now that I have my own car.
Thanks a lot guys ! Also what do you think about this duncan coral I've had it for a few months now good size just struggling on getting his nice color, he almost looks like to much light but he's not in a itence spot at all or is that how they look ? I'm not sure the head on the bottom left looks the roughest in my eyes .. Tenticals look whitish/ dry on that head , I try to feed them twice a week micis shrimps
I like to go to stores to buy my corals. A lot of online pages don't show all their corals and some show only their more expensive stuff. I don't do homes any more, it's difficult to set up a time and sum flake on you. I also hate to go to someone's house and then decide I don't want anything, I would always buy something just so it wasn't awkward.
I also don't like meeting up in parking lots.
My time is also valuable to me, I have not much time to relax , so I prefer to have the flexibility store hours provide.

I have purchased a good number of my corals from a few folks on this site. The corals are all doing fine and it is interesting to see their tank set ups. Everyone was very welcoming. My situation may be different from some as I am retired and have the time to
be flexible in where and when.
Kevin Tran has some nice Zoa colonies for sale under the selling forum here and he is local in Breslau. I have purchased a number
of them from him and all are healthy and growing great!
I have not purchased any corals on line. Usaully go to the stores as I like to pick out my corals and see what I am buying.

i mostly get from stores so i can confuse myself gandering and drooling at all the goodies but i also buy alot of stuff from members here.
if i were ever to buy online it would be either canada corals or bigshow no offense to anyone else but i am very comfortable buying their stock as everything from them does well and almost no losses(except the bag i forgot and floated for 3 days unopened lmao) but thats my fault. Plus i like that the pics they take are all what you see is what you get which is just amazing. I know others have great looking stock i just keep going to who is closest that i already trust.
Your coral is looking great more blue lighting and you will see stronger colour but they look healthy and happy as can be so whatever your doing keep it up
