I would say your not going to the right places. Have you been to Red coral, Golds and Ocean City? I could name a few that would be overpriced but thoes 3 are pretty fair. Also the more you shop at these places and get to know the owners/staff the better off you are.

Yes those places are all good. I also have some very cost effective soft corals as well. For example I have some zoas, mushrooms, GSP, xenia & several varieties of leathers (toadstools, devils hand, cabbage, fingers, etc), photosynthetic gorgs, candy cane, frogspawn, etc.

It all depends what you are looking at. Some mushrooms are very rare and expensive and can easily fetch $20 to $30 per head (Ricordias/yums, rhodactis, etc)! Same goes for brains and zoas. Some zoas can be $30 or more per polyp! Whether or not something is "worth it" is all relative.

Agreed.
This forum is the best place where you can buy beginner corals at a great price. As a majority of the people selling coral on here aren't for profit, but more to make space, or try and give back to the community as more than likely someone did the same for them in the past.

So keep watching those classifieds

-1. Sorry you are wrong :-) I am here for the profit but i am a very bad business person, keep losing money. I just have too much time doing nothing at work, sad...

i have been to all those stores, and some are alright but the pricing is still way over considering what u can get shipped in from the US,

you can't be serious. Have you actually buy live stock from US yet? I think the delivery cost is very high and the chance fish / coral came in one piece is very low. Also LFS business is to make money out of small population of reefers in Calgary
