Here's a couple posts by the Ontario store Reef Raft from the Aquariumpros.ca forum. They just received this wild stuff in this week:

Why can't our suppliers get this kind of stuff regularly like they do? I see wild rainbow montis, superman danaes, torts etc. OA gets this stuff once in a blue moon, but ReefRaft seems to get this in almost every month :(

I get the email updates for their shipments, and they get awesome shipments about every two weeks...

It is unfortunate places in the west dont get that kind of stuff in more often. RR seem to have some good suppliers down south.

Reef Raft does ship orders......

Yes, but I think were trying to get at the fact that we dont have local acess to things like this at any time? We are not able to set out the door and drive a couple minutes to go to a store with prices like theirs and pick up incredible pieces, we have to get things shipped to us...?

Thats my view anyways. Im just not keen on spending 4 corals worth of money to get 2 shipped where I still have to drive half an hour to pick them up.

Just my 2 cents...

Trust me Chris, shipping would be less than the cost of 1 or those corals...

At least you folk out in the wast can get sps none the less!Out here in sask at the LFS they want 90$ for finger size frags:(

Its no different here.:sad:

We seem to be getting alot of nice stuff into Calgary, similar to what I saw on the site you posted.

What makes me sick is when I go to american sites like platinum reef and fraggle reef and see the min blowing corals they have down there :(

The clams are 90$ for 3-5" crocea...And the LFS only just started to bring in the sps .There's 2 store's in the whole city that sell coral...And the one with 90$ finger sized frag's only has 2.....:Ppfff what's that?

I don't know guys I have seen quite a few sweet pieces at OA and there are often very nice pieces for sale on this site. I have bought from Jamie, Andy and Willito and they have some incredible corals - and they ship!
Those are nice corals but I don't agree that we don't get some pretty nice stuff available out here too.
And to all you guys that are willing to ship - THANK YOU. Those of us like Moby and myself and quite a few others really have no choice - we have to find either a hobbiest or a retailer that will ship. I know that it is extra work and just want to say how much I and I'm sure others appreciate it. For me to drive to a decent LFS, which is Vancouver it is a 17hr drive - one way!
