where do you get your "rare" SPS?
 
As you may have read in my FTOTM article we are going to do a SPS makeover in the tank...
some common SPS will be sold and we want more "rare" ones...

We want more blue, more red, more yellow...
less green ;)

Where do you get your unusual SPS in Canada?

Please tell me about your experiences about what you got.
If it was ship to you, how did it went?

What do you define as rare? :)

Most of what I would call rare I've gotten from Oceanic Corals. Great service and shipping was perfect. Would not hesitate to order from them again. I have also purchased corals from LFS',mostly Red Coral in Calgary which will ship as well! Plus now they have a kick ass online store you can use.

Coral Master also ships and I've gotten great frags from him.

And finally, local hobbyists around the province. Some will ship if you ask nicely.

Oceanic Corals for me as well, but I can drive there and pick them up.. Great crew working there,,,excellent customer service.

I don't know exactly how rare his stuff is, but Dez has many VERY nice frags all the time and he was, and probably still is willing to ship.

i know its not sps (yet) but Andrew overat pisces had been putting out awsome frags in the last little bit. Mostly really nice lps (chalices, bubble coral, favias, acans) and there starting to get into sps. The nicest thing about him is if theres something you like in a display he will frag it for you. He usually has a pretty good supply of stuff in the back too so i sugest going to find him if you stop there.

That's great but I don't think they ship frags or corals of any sort for that matter :)

actually they do. My buddy from toronto was here a couple weeks ago and andrew shipped him a couple frags and they made it there awsome! He even ships seahorses all over the country and even last month they shipped a certified arowana to montreal

Sweet! I didn't know that! Do they have corals on their website that we can order from?

Interesting thread... do any of these suppliers ship overnight, but not to an airport for pick up, for those of us who don't drive??

I know fedex was quick with overnight from Texas to my door in Ontario, but most of the Canadian retailers out west, have a ship to the airport only, and there are a lot of us who don't drive so are unable to get to an airport to pick up, and are looking for alternatives.. If it wasn't for that issues, Coral Master, Oceanic Corals and Red Corals would have made a pretty penny off of me by now.. LOL
