I find your prices a little too high for minimum of 1 inch frags (SPS), I can get frags from my LFS for $20 a piece, I just picked up 3 yesterday from Red Coral in Calgary (2 at about 1.5-2 inches, and the third is about 3-4 inches)

Pricing for whole colonies, compared to who I deal with are comparible.

I also find your corals quite brown, maybe just the camera, you need better pic's

Sorry, don't mean to be a bummer, just my thoughts...

Good news, as a web developer myself... Your site looks great, loads fast and is easy to navigate. thumbs up!

+1 on high prices for frags
good price on the colonies
also what kind of payment options do you have
if i order 3 small colonies is it really going to cost me 75 to ship them

For this immediate moment, we are using PayPal. But, quite soon we will be integrating InternetSecure which deals with payment options of MC/Visa/Interact.

We also use Canada Post, which is much cheaper than FedEx. We are still working with these companies to bring you cheaper shipping options. If you want to save on shipping, I would suggest to do group orders.

Thank you. We do have a lot of full sized colonies for sale. On a weekly basis we will be adding frags and colonies to our stock list. So will always be lots to choose from.

We pride ourselves in acquiring pieces that are not just unique, but in great coloration and hardiness. Our prices reflect that.

As well, we do not manipulate with PhotoShop or use lighting trickery to entice people to buy our corals. We show you how they are, and how they will be seen in your tank. Not just in our system.

Over time we will have an array of pictures that you can browse through, which will be coral specific. This way you will have a better understanding on how small frags will be, how they will grow, and how they will mature.

Good to hear that there are no navigation issues to report. We went with a simple design, so that it is not overcrowded with useless imagery.

I am going to do a picture a day to showcase our corals.

Kudos on that. Many retailers photograph under 20,000 K halides or using heavy actinics and the corals always look far more muted in my tank then in any pictures. Not to say they have no colour or look bad, just not as colourful as in the pictures. This really depends on the retailer. Some are better than others. Anyhow, a more accurate representation is appreciated.

Congratulations Vlad and Jeff. The site looks great and it's easy to use. I'm sure people will appreciate the quality when comparing the price to chop shop corals that are not properly attached and acclimated, then sold using manipulated lighting and a photoshop "finger on the scale". Quality will always prevail and I don't see any problem with the value for money you offer. There are lots of US sites that gouge on "premium designer corals".
