I am sure there are exceptions to my experience. but after being burned by him and even just googling fragalot.ca you will find many many others who have had the same. He does have some sweet things listed on his site, but for me it is not worth the risk

It is true there are lots of negative experiences out there but you don't always get good reviews from buyers because they are happy and don't think they should put it out there. But if it's a bad review everyone hears about it over and over and over. That is why it is nessisary for ALL of us as consumers to give all reviews good or bad so everyone is informed.

This is just my opinion and in no way trying to offend anyone but as a business owner in want to know what my customers think of my services and if they are not happy or there is problem I fix it and make it right regardless of the cost to me.

But I could rant on this issue for a long time and really start to sound like a total jerk so I will shut-up now.

I know they are pretty bad for ordering online and I even know someone who had an appointment, went there, and he could not get in because the owner kept the door shut!

Pretty bad business for sure. I was just suggesting that not to give up on the zoanthids yet as they may be the right ones just not colored up yet. Mine took many months to turn out how they should.

IN my order they switched thing without warning. I ordered blue ricordea and got yellow, ordered pink tip hammer and got frogspawn. So yes that was not what I ordered for 2 items. Problem is, they did not ask before switching things.

But...BUT...who else has the same huge and beautiful selection of zoanthids for so cheap? nobody.

If you order somehting and you dont get it , then its not realy a matter of selection he could have 80 different pictures and just send everyone some green ones cuz thats all hes got and he just switches ones out.

As much as I love to bash fragalot (which I really, really do) this doesn't answer the guy's question: where to buy zoos online.

I recommend Neptunes Cove in the states. The guy has more zoos than you could shake a stick at and is awesome to deal with. Super easy to work with.
