Gooches Corals

This is a looooong over do thread on Scott and Kris at Gooches corals. I have dealt with them in the past, and have been nothing but happy.

This time I received two three corals and a few freebies from him. Two of the corals were montipora orientalis (or so identified as Steve Tyree, true id is up in the air). One was Scott's blueberry acro, and the two freebies were a cool electric clam and a small blasto.

I cannot say enough how much a other vendors need to take hints off of Scott. The frags of orientalis I got off of Scott are roughly 6-8x's the red and blue polyped danae I have received from two other vendors, and yes I paid the said price for the dime sized frag from two vendors as the .50 cent piece frags I got from Scott. He refuses to send anything out that small, and his customers REALLY appreciate that.

The blueberry frags is almost like a baby colony. Not like a frag at all. His pictures do none of his corals ANY JUSTICE AT ALL! Every time I have received corals from Scott they have so far surpassed what I was expected I am just tickled! Those that know me know I order quite a bit from quite a few vendors, and there are none that I get shipments from that consistently floor me. I really cannot say enough about Gooches Corals. They really pay attention to the customer, excellent packing, and look out for the customer more then themselves, and sometimes lost money because of it.

Everyone really needs to go check them out, there stock and service is unmatched!

Here are some pics:

I'd agree on the pics - as I used to have space in my tank + go get corals in person, and always end up with things I saw online but `pop' when in front of you.

As I'm overstocked right now, I can't go
