I bought a couple coral packs a long long time ago and they were exactly what they said they would be. I have never had a bad experience with Live Aquaria, even though my last shipment came in half frozen, but that was Fedex's fault for bumping the package because not everything could fit on the plane. They called me to tell me fedex bumped my stuff and to let them know the next day how it came in. Very professional, and always has been.

You will not be disappointed, the only thing I didnt like about the coral packs was I couldnt pick them out. But thats easily solved by going with their Divers Den stuff.

I've never bought coral packs from them, but, for the most part, their corals I did buy were WAY better than I had expected. The only exception was a green birds nest that was extremely bleached (I mean it was bright white!) when I got it, unfortunately, it never recovered and survived just long enough for the guarantee to expire... It's true that you can see a picture of the coral in The Divers Den section, but you still don't know how it will look when you actually get it. If I were going to go pay LFS prices, I think I'd just go to an LFS...

thanks, I didn't know about that diver's den thing. Looks pricey tho. My girlfriend bought a super neon green, w a couple purple mushroom polyps w/ about 10-12 on it. only about a 2"-3" pc from our LFS, (choice pc from about 50) and he only charged us $7.00! We go there a lot tho. seemed like an awesome price. Definitely a plus to see it first

very professional. I had a problem with my order which I was a shipping problem. Called to let them know my order of coral came in dead. It was only $30 in coral so I wasn't upset just wanted to try to find a better way of delivery on my next order. They went above and beyond to correct what had happend which wasn't their problem as far as I was concerned. Great company. I wish everyone had customer service like they do. Very friendly and will answer any livestock questions.
Highly recommeded
