Also, do vendors like MJC, Frag Cave let people come in to see their set up and shop for frags in person?

Thanks in advance for the feedback!

Yup, they will all let you come by and take a look. TO is the mecca for corals in Canada, you won't find a better selection and prices in such a concentrated area.

Retail stores

Aquatic Kingdom
Reef Raft (he will open for you, but you will have to call)
Rivers2Oceans
Dragon Aquarium
Canada Corals

All those stores are within 5-10minutes of each other

There is also

Advanced Reef Aquatics
SUM
NAFB
Coral Reef Shop

They are just on the outskirts of TO, but worth the drive. All the stores are 1 hour or less from Pearson Airport

Not sure but I don't think the airlines will take corals back in as part of your luggage allowance. Something about sw and metal planes. Years ago, they made my friend use a shipping company to send her stuff back. You should check before making purchases. If you are allowed and are willing to bring back some for fellow Lower Mainlanders, please let me know

I would go as far as to say North America. California has been buying corals from us for years. We are very fortunate.

Ya, it goes back and forth, RR deserves most (if not all) of the credit, they are the ones that bring in the corals the US wants. Bigger market in the US so they pay the higher prices.
