Check out Bayside Corals in Saskatoon, SK. I know it sounds funny to have a great coral store in the middle of the prairies, but it is true! I have been to a lot of LFS across western Canada over the years and Bayside consistently has the highest quality LPS around. SPS orders are a little less frequent, and sell really fast, but are also prime quality. He posts pics of new coral orders on his Facebook and Reefbook pages fairly regularly. "Like" Bayside on Facebook to get notifications.

You should check my LFS facebook page (Raging Reef). He's in Montreal and I think he's willing to ship accross Canada if you contact him. He posts photos of most of his arrivals. He gets alot of rare stuff.

Why not have local fish store order in what your looking for sure they would have great success and if your gonna get a lot of stuff they would give u a deal.

If you have the time to figure out when the stores get there order in. Those are the days you should show up. A lot of the good pieces go quickly. Other then that if you know what your looking for ,some pieces get over looked because they color down durring shipping . Then your looking for potential in that coral. I find stores stay away from the big pieces because most people don't want to spend those prices. As many people have said any store will order anything you want in but they can't always control the prices. Every vendor they go to will have different corals at different times and different prices.
