I have had great luck with LiveAquaria.com also...

I have ordered live rock from LiveAquaria.com, a cleaner package from ETropicals.com, and supplies from DrsFosterandSmith.com... They are part of DrsFosterandSmith.com site...

All have come in great shape... And the prices have been pretty darn good...

Most important to me has been the customer service... I ordered 45lbs of LR for my brother and the box was "damaged"... They sent him 22lbs more for his "troubles" w/ very minimal questions... They ended up filing a claim against FedEx...

Good luck...

Liveaquaria - I ordered some inverts from them about 7 months ago. They didn't put the banded serpent star I ordered in and decided to give me two CBS which they put in the SAME BAG. Guess what happened? I got one CBS missing all but one leg and a claw and one in pieces. The injured one died and I still have a credit for the star.

I also ordered one box of tonga branch that came in the deadest LR I have ever seen. Nice shapes but no life and lots of die off.


I have ordered frags from Coraldynamics (Rick) and TheLogicalReef (Bryan) both of whom are fantastic to do business with and have fair prices. I am planning on ordering from either www.seacrop.com or www.eastcoastclams.com next. Both I have corresponded with in email about their product and have heard nothing but good thigns about their shipping/livestock. Seacrop is run by Mary Middlebrook who is a real champion of net caught fish and captive cultured livestock.
