I started most of my tank from frags bought from ebay. Some local shippers I used with great results (and cheap shipping in FL)

Can't beat local sellers and less of a chance losing livestock.

I bought 3 from evinny101. He is in Lakeland and would not allow local pickup. None of the frags were encrusted. One was separated from the fragplug when I got it. That one didn't make it. Frags were a little small for 15-20.00. They were barely 1/2 in.

My experience has been the same. I agree the frags from him are a little on the small side and are not encrusted. I think he raised his prices since I bought earlier in the summer. On the other hand I've only lost 1 out of 12 and he replaced it when I came back and ordered a couple more frags. Five months later they all look good and have grown out.

Here's my list of FL websites and ebay sellers. Cultivated Coral and Elite Reef are my two fav's. I'm sure others can add comments.

http://www.cultivatedcoral.com/ (cultivatedcoral) - FL based these have a selection of harder to get corals and Nick is great to work with.
