We have a store here that sells INSANE corals, stuff thats been bred in captivity that no one else has......Problem is.......they cost a fortune. They have a 600 gallon frag tank that has everything from a 5 dollar section to a 200+ section.And they have a red sea mad 65 gallon tank that has nothing but exotics in it.....japanese LPS that are just insane. But again.........150+ for a single coral.

damp shipping...?

the thing is that we're trying to sell this stuff fast... so cash is needed... and we don't have a paypal account...

i'm down to ship you guys polyps... i've gotten polyps shipped in shop towels before.. is that what you mean as damp shipping...?

Exactly what i mean, You can stick a shitload of corals in one bag,There will be no water to foul,Temps will be more stable and you will save a bunch of money on the shipping cost.
Wish i was closer, I would come shopping=)
I have a Exotic LPS dealer here,There are many 250 dollar per polyp,And the shit is extraordinary.
Thats funny Puffed your so close to the reef,and yet you guys still get fucked.I dont understand it.

Suppose i'm lucky here in Saint Louis, we now have 4 LFS on top of all the damn Petco and Petsmarts. Granted the petco/petsmart doesn't stock coral just fish however i've found bargains at both. Prices vary at all the LFS for coral however I consider location and how exotic the piece is. Most expensive i've seen localy was $4-500 for a few pieces last year and can't remember what they were. However i can get frags for $15 -30, most everything else is $40-150 a piece.

World Wide corals is SICK! The only think I dont like about them.........they keep just there actinics on during business hours. They cut a deal for my local reef club as a group.....but damn........they are still expensive. Theres a dude in my club that has just about every major acropora there is........and he will frag a piece for almost nothing. So I start everthing like that.......its a lot cheaper. :)
