Hey guys I only have a nuvofusion10, so because I'm limited by space I want some pretty bright colored awesome coral. Where is the best place to buy online? (Mainly looking for a great ricordea Yuma)

Cultivated Reef has treated me very well. I have a few video reviews under their sponsor page

Coral Gardens Aquaculture is really good too. Alot of the lounge gets from there with excellent results.

Unique Corals - (always nice, nothing anyone could not like)

Battle Corals - (mainly sps, all grown under LEDs, incredible customer service)

Jason Fox Corals - (small frags but most colorful ever!)

LiveAquaria Divers Den - (consistent and dependable)

Reef Gardner - (limited selection but one of the few with nice yumas/rics)

World Wide Corals - ($$ for what you get but it's always nice)

Pacific East Aquaculture - (excellent pricing. nothing very fancy but you do get what you see)

Joe Knows Reefs - (on my watch list but think they may be wild or maricultured)

 

Tidal Gardens - my one experience were frags covered in pests and not like the photos. Tossed, not worth the risk. Might have been just one bad shipment and things could be different now.

 

These are who I deal with or have in the past. Actually, I really only deal with the first four 99% of the time. I avoid wild or maricultered corals at all costs. But that's just me. Divers Den is the best for fish. Be sure to save yourself some heartache and check here before ordering from any that are not recommended by at least a few folks. (please dont ask why I know)

 

EDIT: Forgot to add, Plant Zoa ($$$) is the place for fancy zoa's.

Reefcorner is amazing IMO sent me an email telling me they replaced a frag because the one pictured wasn't doing well. Then sent a pic of my order being prepared.

When I make my first fancy coral purchase it is probably going to be a frag pack from http://www.legendary-corals.com/

 

I am local so I can cut out on shipping though. Their thing appears to be zoas and favias. They have a section for rics too, but rics aren't really my cup of tea compared to fancy zoas & chalices.

 

Jason fox would be my go-to for fancy chalices http://www.jasonfoxsignaturecorals.com/category_s/53.htm

 

I would also check craigslist. It looks like you are in NJ so id imagine that being in a relatively population dense area there is a good chance to find others in the hobby selling frags. If you find a person who is into fragging out their collection you can sometimes get killer deals.
