alice_curiouser · #2 07/25/2005, 06:54 AM

I know someone who bought from them locally and was very pleased with her purchases. I think I'm going to give them a try!

They *just* started selling online (like, within the last month or so), so it'll probably be a bit before many people can chime in.

Frags N Crabs is very popular among Houston area reefers. Here's a link to a discussion forum about them on MARSH, the Houston area saltwater aquarium society:

I am the owner of Frags 'N Crabs.....please let me know if you have any questions.....you can email us at service@fragsncrabs.com

If you want any customer feedback you can ask pretty much anyone on marshreef.com (Houston's Aquariums Society)

I also have recieved my first shipment from fragsncrabs.com - I ordered a purple Torch, a green frogspawn, a brain, a ricordia, and a frilly mushroom. Communication was great, shipment was prompt, and these corals are FANTASTIC! I have ordered a lot of livestock online, and this was one of the best experiences, by far.

Confooseld · #9 08/10/2005, 01:25 AM

I've delt with them personally, and enjoyed the service best prices in our city. Can't beat .50c a hermit! I'd highly reccomend them.

fadeintoblue · #10 08/10/2005, 06:02 AM

I'm waiting for my first order from them now. Customer service has been great and they've been willing to special order what I want. Reviews here in Houston among everyone I've spoken with have been excellent!
They'll have all my business from now on.

RamManOK · #11 08/10/2005, 06:18 AM

I recieved an order from them last week and was absolutely thrilled with their service and the corals. I will definitely order from them again in the future.

niko5 · #12 08/10/2005, 06:22 AM

I have received a few order from them and have had nothing but great livestock and even better customer service not to mention I can't find prices that cheep anywhere else

saberry · #13 08/10/2005, 06:27 AM

I can't speak about their shipping since I'm here in Houston and get to pick up locally, but their service and pricing have always been top notch. Besides getting my clean up critters and various frags from them, I also just got three lyretail anthias special ordered - beautiful, healthy fish and all three were only $51!!! Frags-N-Crabs is one of my favorites.

DonnieKim · #14 08/10/2005, 07:06 AM

I have personally ordered from them and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to get some stuff cheap!

reefgeek2 · #15 08/10/2005, 07:39 AM

I have always had excellent service and great prices with these guys. I have bought lots of corals and critters from them... btw i'm going tomorrow to get more

Great stuff. Jim at frags-n-crabs has always exceeded my expectations.

landfish · #16 08/10/2005, 07:49 AM

I have bought frags, whole colonies, snails, clams and just about anything and everything from frags-and-crabs. Their service is great and the owners are some of the nicest people you will ever deal with. I now buy most of my livestock through them and they have the best prices around. They have the healthy livestock and I am always please with ever thing that I have bought from them. I highly recommend frags-and-crabs. Give them a try you will not be disappointed

Here are a few pic of things I have bought from them

I've had great experience with them. Being in the Houston area, I've picked most of my orders up but I have had some things shipped and have nothing but great things to say about them. The quality of the livestock is second to none and the same goes for the customer service. We have many LFS's here in the Houston area and I can say that because of their quality and pricing, Frags n Crabs is taking a lot of their customers away. I know because I'm one of 'em.
All I can say is try them out.

garrick · #18 08/10/2005, 08:56 AM

I have nothing but good things to say about this vendor. There are a lot of places to buy reef creatures, but the prices and quality of the livestock from Frags 'N Crabs can't be matched.
Since Jim is a hobbiest, he knows what people expect and, more importantly, what they want.
Frags 'N Crabs has gone out of their way to special order things for me, follow up to ask about the well-being of the livestock and quickly respond to email messages and PMs on the MARSHreef message board.
Not only would I not hesitate to place an order from them, but I am putting together a reef tank right now that will be stocked entirely with livestock from them.

jjackson · #19 08/10/2005, 08:56 AM

They are Awesome... Jim is a great guy and really goes out of his way to help.

leaffish75 · #20 08/10/2005, 09:12 AM

I have dealt with them. Nice Frags N Crabs. Really nice things. Saved me alot of money compared to the lFS.

hun9731 · #21 08/10/2005, 09:18 AM

I have bought everything from frags to starfish to fish from F&C.
I have always received quality items and believe they go above and beyond to please their customers. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

Pam0524 · #22 08/10/2005, 09:22 AM

FragsnCrabs (Jim and Lindsey) are top notch to work with. I have bought livestock from them many times and have always paid less and received more than from any other LFS OR Online vendor! The livestock I have purchased have all been excellent, healthy specimens. I recommend them to everyone!

lordfoul · #23 08/10/2005, 11:01 AM

Frags N Crabs is great! Some of the best prices around. I've bought several corals from them and all have been very healthy and aclimated well.

mdang · #24 08/10/2005, 11:13 AM

Another satisfied customer...i have bought the bulk of my livestock from them. Top notch!

NANAReef · #25 08/10/2005, 12:15 PM

Always have great looking stock. Easy to work with, and very responsive/quick to reply. I would recomend them to anyone!
