We understand that the coral reef hobby isn't the cheapest hobby in the world. In fact it's darn expensive. Being not long out of college ourselves, we know what it's like reefing on a budget. We also understand that students of today are the responsible reefers of tomorrow, and we want to actively encourage young people to be able to get as much out of their dollars as possible.

So if you are in fact a bona-fide student, when you sign-up please select the "student" membership level. Use your school's ".edu" e-mail address to verify that you are in fact a student. If for some reason you don't have a .edu address, please contact us directly before you buy so we can confirm. For non-students looking to abuse this privilege... don't spoil it. Let's try a little trust in humanity and give students the break they deserve.

We reserve the right to call BS on non-student cheaters!

If you are already a member of Coral Morphologic and you are a student, you should be able to change your membership status over to "student".

As a "student" member, you will receive 15% off at the time of purchase. We will also honor our "free bonus polyp" special to help offset the cost of shipping.

Students, we want to hear from you. What are you studying? We are most interested in hearing of your marine biological/ reef hobby ambitions. Show us pics of your tanks. It ain't easy being a student reefer, what with sumer vacations, moving tanks year after year, etc. We understand and we salute you.

Cheers,
Colin and Jared

I work for a university so my email address ends with edu. Rats, I am not a student so I do not get the discount. That's ok I think what you are doing is awesome........ Wish you were around when I started in this hobby.

I do get some student discounts. My all time favorite is at the apple store and website.

whats bona-fide?

Bona-fide means "fo' real, yo!"...

Is it just college students? What about us HS students?

Thanks!

Of course, high schoolers are equally entitled to the discount. If you don't have a ".edu" e-mail address, write us a note first. You're in school and used to written assignments, so your job will be to convince us that you aren't some non-student cheapskate trying to scam a 15% discount. Shoot, if you can impress us, maybe we'll hook you up with even more free stuff. Skate boarders get sponsored, why shouldn't up and coming reefers? Plus, this sport is waaay more expensive....

this is so generous of you, my next coral purchase will be from here!!

AWESOME!!! I'll be done with school in 2 weeks! Then i look forward to purchasing a buttload of corals!

That really is a nice thing since I'm 15 and money is a hard thing to find..
What physical proof do you want ? Like a scanning of papers,I'm home schooled but have state test stuff and GED prep program stuff. I could get some sort of teacher verification since my GED prep program teacher is a teacher Ironically I will take some community college courses this fall so then I can get some defined proof by requesting an email address that I can use, since my current one is getting more spammed.

any group buys on rics for students? like a ric package?

Its nice that you are doing this for students ... but the prices (e.g. rics) are kinda expensive for an online store for non-students ...

Very nice. Do you have gift certificates? Someone owes me something, and your ric/mushroom prices are pretty good, especially with a 15% discount.

A they pick ric 5 or 10 pack of Rics would be cool.

In response, to JM87292's idea, we have just added a 10 pack of Ricordea for only $100. This is probably the best deal on the net. No ugly drab green filler polyps. The package will include:

3 Neon Green polyps
3 Blue/Aqua/Lavender polyps
3 Orange Polyps
1 Green and Orange Rainbow polyp
