Group order - Neptune's Cove. Order Complete...All went well!
 

See my update on the last page of this thread


Hey everyone,

So we are now ordering from Neptune's Cove. The price lists are attached to my post on page 3 of this thread. Please read my post and the one before it from Saltynuts to get the details. If you're interested in being part of the order post to the thread, fill in the pricelist excel sheet with your quantities, and PM it back to me. Ideally I would like to place the order by the end of this week so we can be sure we get what we all want! Remember to keep in mind the restrictions on what can be imported (look at the two posts I mentioned earlier).

You will want to check if they actually can send them the BC as they are in Utah. They need a CITES. But if they do...

Count me in... I'll probably be around $50 to $100.

The other place to check that has badass zoas is Neptunes Cove. They have great prices and I can give you a price list frmo Novemeber. They will provide you with an update price list and let you know if they can ship to Canada.

Oh... and those prices are a little steep. $25 and up for 2 to 3 polyps... ouch.

Did you find Neptune offered better prices as well as shipping to Canada? I'm happy to go with whoever is reputable, it just seems like there is more exotic frags over the border.

As for zoanthids.com, I've asked them about the CITES permit, however some brief research indicates that zoas are not listed under CITES, and should not be a problem especially if the polyps are mounted on a frag base and not live rock.

Neptune's on average seem to be around $4 to $6 per polyp for ultra's (versus $8 and up for some) and with larger frags (Neptune's lists as 5+, 10+ and 15+ frags). I would suggest emailing Neptune's for a current price/stock list and for shipping info. If zoas can be shipped from zoanthids.com, the can be shipped from Neptunes.

hmmm. lemme know what happens with this. if no Citis for zoas on plugs, what about shrooms, rics ect?

I've just been in touch with Neptune, and their prices seem reasonable. I'm just confirming a few things. We may end up switching this to a group order from Neptune who also said they can ship aquacultured corals and zoas across the bordered with no issue.

Starry - I'll ask regarding rics and mushrooms.

Viewers of this thread, please post with an approximate $$ (so I can try to negotiate the shipping) if you're interested and stay tuned for who the supplier will be and the price list...hopefully we'll have a decision before the weekend.

Thanks ScubaSteve for the info!
