I made an order from fragalot recently , and honestly wasnt worth my time . I got some realy nice zoas , and some frags not so nice . Basically i didnt get most of what i ordered just a random mix so its kinda hit and miss.I live close to oceanic corals and paul the owner is great to deal with , he dosent update his site much but if you contact him im sure he can find what you want.

Ok but his coral are quite expensive. I would rather find a place like fragagot for nice zoanthids for not too expensive. I got some really nice Eye of Rae at fragalot, for 10$ and some other nice ones.

I have heard it is a hit or miss with fragalot but I have been thinking of contacting them and putting in an order as well. I think you have to call and be very firm with your order, no substitution and no crap frags.

I am sure i can speak for more than just myself here.

NEVER ORDER FROM FRAGALOT!!!!! I have had nothing but bad experiences ordering from him. i was lucky and out of 5 zoa frags I purchased only one died, but the other four weren't even the ones i ordered. I know many others have had similar experiences. so unless your picking them up from him and you can see the product. i would avoid it at all costs

This is somewhat a true statement but you can go to Red Coral and get some really sweet $10 zoa frags. I have got several from Kevin, Doug & Carmen in Calgary and Steve in Edmonton. There customer service is premo.

i dont agree with that at all if you go through the trouble of picking out a certain coral you should get that coral and get it for the price advertised.

them sending you random picks of not what you ordered is a horrible way to do business....if you went to the store and picked out a frag in person and he grabbed the one on the side of it im sure you would speak up and what if he said you have no say, you get what you get... you get what he pics???


price doesnt matter your right its only $10 sure but what if every business did that what if the restaurant you went to came to you with chicken instead of steak and their excuse was well their both $10.....

thats not how business is done and im also on the train as id never ever ever order from them theres countless storys of cold and dead corals to stuff that wasnt even close to what they ordered i even heard of someone who got their order.....just water??? paid for a box of weight...sad



be warned theres plenty of good online stores besides these guys.


kelly at the reefshoppe also carrys some nice zoas
