Online vendor suggestions?

Im looking to buy acans, ricordia yumas, blastos, lps,etc etc. Wasnt too sure which forum to post this on but can someone give some recommendations on a good online vendor to buy from?

I want to find a vendor that charges low shipping fees or even maybe free shipping if I spend over a certain amount. Ive tried sites such as fragglereef.com, rarefrags.com. Can you guys recommend another site that you guys order nice corals from? thanks

i tried liveaquaria. Shipping is a bit expensive. Im really looking for the "boutique" coral stores. Liveaquaria is a little too mainstream. Any other suggestions?

Where do you live? It is cheaper to ship a short distance.

Do a search at www.onereef.com and you can see all the places that sell coral online. I'd also suggest checking if you have a local reef group that has a trading ring. That is always helpful.

I place two orders with reefhotspots. Really impressed with the fish and corals I got. All arrived alive and are doing well in my system.
