If you are starting your seach for more interesting, unusual SPS consider visiting some local hobbyists. Most are more than welcome to have you by from time to time. That being said, you should have good luck with most LFS's, and online vendors these days.
Good to see you are around again Dave.

If you get to know your LFS it helps as well - yesterday I picked up what he considers an "unusual" montipora (I think it's a montipora malampaya) with seafoam coloured polyps - a real neat-o coral that we've both not seen.

Certainly trading with other hobbyists is good too - it can help distribute a piece widely turning a "rare" piece into one that a few more people have in case your piece dies for whatever reason, so you might be able to track a piece down later.
