We need to know what you think about our pricing. If any of the species are not hardy or if too difficult to keep, let us know and we'll drop them from the list. Your suggestions on other corals is also welcome. Of course we have to get our CITIES license and such before we proceed.

Thanks

Venki Worathur

PS:- We might Hold the corals for a week after receipt to ensure proper health (May be ordering them only against an order).

If you Could get more SPS , and Clams, Or bright colored anemones (green/blue carpets) I 'd be interested.

would This be a WYSIWYG type site? Or what ever you send is what we get for coral i mean?

[Aquattro]

And these are then shipped from Ottawa? Box charges? Shipping charges?

[venkiw]

Stretch,

We'll look into getting more corals of your choice and even custom order corals as we have total control over what we can get (of course subject to availability).

Till we get established we may not do a WYSIWYG. But knowing the kind of customer service we provide, I am sure only the best ones will be shipped.

Reef_raf,

Boxing charges and air freight will apply similer to what other online stores charge. But if we had a person taking care of all orders in a city for each shipment, there will drastic savings on shipping. There might be a wait invloved with this process but it will still be worthwhile.

Even with regular shipping, I am sure there will be a ton of savings compared to buying them elsewhere.

PS:-

Only thing we may expect from you is to do your research before ordering a species from us (level of difficulty in maintenance, lighting needs etc.), sustainbility in captivity, water parameters, etc.. There is ample info available at you finger tips. We'll add those info on our webiste as we expand but for now, advice on what to keep will be limited.

[kuatto]

Is your website up and running?

[kadaytar]

If you bring some colorful ricordea rocks at reasonable prices i will be interested in.

gonioporas have a high mortality rate and some shops will not bring them in. it might be good to reconsider this particular animal. more feed back.

[EmilyB]

I wouldn't order livestock from that far away.
