There are only about 5 people in Prince George who have been successfully keeping SPS for the last few years. Therefore everything we have is rare.

Default Coral Master - Still the best!

Coral Master has over 3 years experience of over night shipping right to your door. I have been shipping all across Canada very successfully, from Vancouver Island all the way to the Altlantic & and most cities in between.
Check out the Testimonial & Guarantee pages on my website.
http://coralmaster.com/testimonials.html
http://coralmaster.com/shipping_info.html

Coral Master was the first in Canada to offer a ARRIVE ALIVE - STAY ALIVE 10 day GUARANTEE.
& if by chance I don't have what you're looking for,
my other recommendation would be Oceanic Corals who also ships over night to your door.

If you ever get to Ottawa, which is not too far, Aqua Valley has very nice stuff and great quality. I'm in T.O and have met him at the Airport a few times and everything I have bought from him has done extremely well, even fish that I couldn't seem to get local to survive, his thrived.

I always avoid using the term "rare", just something about it that bugs me..."unusual" was more accurate to me.

If you are starting your seach for more interesting, unusual SPS consider visiting some local hobbyists. Most are more than welcome to have you by from time to time. That being said, you should have good luck with most LFS's, and online vendors these days.

If you get to know your LFS it helps as well - yesterday I picked up what he considers an "unusual" montipora (I think it's a montipora malampaya) with seafoam coloured polyps - a real neat-o coral that we've both not seen.

Certainly trading with other hobbyists is good too - it can help distribute a piece widely turning a "rare" piece into one that a few more people have in case your piece dies for whatever reason, so you might be able to track a piece down later.
