Although at the prices they're offered at, it's probably just as well I couldn't order them and have them sent north of the 49th parallel. $300 for the purple gigantea, $900 for the red haddoni. Ouch.

Drool!

Oh man I would love that Red Haddoni

WOW!! Am I glad they don't sell those things at the lfs around here. I'd have to set up another tank!

Wooow. So tell me: why don't/can't we get pieces like that up here?

We are a long way from warm oceans ?

Not as big of market at the USA.

I know of several places in the usa that ship here though, but its a hassle. But I guess you are spot on with the market not being as big. But i found in the states (I have several relatives in various states in the US) the ones closer to florida or california seem to get the better quality corals/fish also the rarer ones. One of my uncles in northern vermont has less access than we do, except for shipping that is, but things seem to not make it when shipped to him.

Chaotic - please share which vendors ship live goods to canada... As that seems to be an urban legend - none have ever been willing to deal with the cites permits that I've ever found.

They are all friends of the family. I can ask them if they will ship to others. I will get back to you.
