Here's a couple posts by the Ontario store Reef Raft from the Aquariumpros.ca forum. They just received this wild stuff in this week:

Why can't our suppliers get this kind of stuff regularly like they do? I see wild rainbow montis, superman danaes, torts etc. OA gets this stuff once in a blue moon, but ReefRaft seems to get this in almost every month

I get the email updates for their shipments, and they get awesome shipments about every two weeks...

It is unfortunate places in the west dont get that kind of stuff in more often. RR seem to have some good suppliers down south.

Reef Raft does ship orders......

Yes, but I think were trying to get at the fact that we dont have local acess to things like this at any time? We are not able to set out the door and drive a couple minutes to go to a store with prices like theirs and pick up incredible pieces, we have to get things shipped to us...?

Thats my view anyways. Im just not keen on spending 4 corals worth of money to get 2 shipped where I still have to drive half an hour to pick them up.

Just my 2 cents...

Trust me Chris, shipping would be less than the cost of 1 or those corals...

Ahh, well I guess it depends on the piece. I've seen some darned nice pieces there going for some really great prices.

I cant deny I have picked up nice pieces here or had some beauties shipped here on group orders(Thanks Jamie!), but it would be real nice to have the convenience of a location like RR around.
