Florida Online Store Reefs2Go

[Europhyllia]

I got a gift certificate to Reefs2Go (the online store in Florida not our local store) and they have a bunch of livestock I've been looking for anyway.
They also have dry goods though.

Has anybody ordered from them before? I'd love to place a livestock order but if people have had bad experiences with them I can use my gc up for dry goods too. :)

did you order anything from them yet? Success/failure???

Yes I got my sponges and gorgs from them. They arrived Christmas Eve.

The good stuff:
I got 2 yellow finger gorgonians, 1 purple whip gorgonian, 1 red tree sponge, 1 orange ridge sponge and one yellow ball sponge shipped for only $90.
I had placed an order for $150 to get free shipping but some of it wasn't in stock so they refunded the difference and still shipped for free.
They added a free yellow ball sponge.

The bad stuff:
They don't post latin names with their animals. I only now found out that the purple whip is actually an Ellisella which don't do very well longterm.
I had ordered a red ridge and an orange tree sponge. They substituted an orange ridge and a red tree without asking.

So price is good. Livestock arrived in good shape. But I usually like to know for sure what I am getting so I know how to take care of it.

Thanks!

I forgot to mention:
SInce no latin names are present don't rely on the pictures either.
My purple whip was listed with a picture of a sea plume/lamarck's gorgonian.

did you contact them about this? I am interested in buying some fish from there...I was wondering what their customer service is like? I may try calling them Monday morning before I order.

I called once and they called back but I think the message says they prefer email contact.
