bahaha .....could be a side business

well maybe he needs more sales like to your self and he can get a good rep going.

ill say one thing though first time i ever ordered off red coral i was talking to kevin and told him to send me ten frags and to surprise me i was curious on what i would get...he could have sent me a load of sand polyps, common green,browns,common buttons.......but he didnt he sent me ten of the nicest ones they had including fire and ice ,darth mauls and he did this to make sure id be back(good move on his hehalf lol)

nothing but good things to say about red coral their zoas change all the time so its always worth checking in and i find rare ones there all the time alot of times before they know it lol well maybe not doug hes all over that like a bucket of chicken at oprahs lol

RC is the bomb baby, I do agree with you too Denny. You should get what you want and pay for.

Well I just checked out www.oceansdirect.ca.........OMFG!!!!

A 4-5" maxima clam for $39.99 & a 2" for $25, 10-15 polyp zoa frags for $10.

Are they serious, flat rate shipping in Canada of $35. This could be a promising site.

well if its pictured and you specifically ask for it then thats what you should get if substituions are to be made a photo should be sent for approval.

even with that aside theres some real bad shipping storys you can read everywhere about them.


if you live in the city its alot better chance of finding zoas locally as people have been collecting them forever and if you have patience and get to know people they pop their heads up.

i still say stick with the vendors you see here they are from all over canada and they always have alot more then whats on their site, and if you just call them or email them and tell them exactly what your looking for and how much you can spend most are more then willing to help you out knowing that you will order again someday.when it comes to selling corals at $35/polyp(not uncommon) repeat business is exactly what they want so its your own choice whether or not you want it...its alllllll hype anyways

Oh I know Denny, but with the rising cost of gas unless I am going to one of the cities to make some money & able to charge out my fuel I really don't get there that often. And lately it seem if I am selling something & someone from the big cities wants it, they want it delivered for free. Any thing I have ever bought from the cities used I have always picked up.

So you can see if I was to order 1 clam for $40 & 6 $10 frags + $35 shipping to my door that is almost the cost of my fuel alone.

from my order at fragalot I thought one was not what I had ordered. I had ordered the Eye of Rae but what I received was just plain brown. I really thought it was something else but after a few months of good metal halide light at 14k the zoanthids finaly turned to be guess what? Eye of Rae!

here is a pic, one of my favorite and it was a 10$ frag from fragalot. So what I am wondering is are you sure what you ordered is not the right thing? Because zoanthids morph color rather drasticaly with different type of light.
