I don't like to order coral, but when I do I order from whomever has the piece that I want at the time. Shipping is a lot of hassle and can obviously be expensive and risky. Unless I'm looking for something specific I just settle for whatever is available wherever I am at the time. What really bugs me is that I can't trust the pictures many people/retailers post. They are too often bathed in blue actinic light or photoshopped beyond reason. So its much more ideal to see for myself what something looks like in person.

My favourite thing to do is travel with a cooler when I go to visit family in the Lower Mainland and on Vancouver Island. I always bring frags with me and I almost always bring frags back. About half of what I have came from retailers and the other half were from private sales.
