I got my FL rics from a guy in the keys. I forgot his website. In searching for his website, I came across reefscavengers. His prices are very reasonable. I have not used this site yet. There is discounted shipping for Fl residents. That is very tempting to me. Anyone bought from them? Feedback is nice.

Yea i bought from them. It was the most horrible experience i have had over the net. No insulation, broken promises and melted coral.

That's the one. I ordered from him twice. I was happy with the transactions. However, I ordered from him last summer, so there was no need for heat packs. Ask if he uses them especially if ur up north.

Seconding this, I ordered 1 assorted type ric and he gave me 2. Everything I got from there was alive and in good condition (small) but it seems they toss in extras quite often.

For Florida Ric's www.sealifeinc.net.

Hands down Ken is the best. I have order both his blue and pink Florida Ric's both are awesome.

He will ship them US Postal Priority $12.00. With a Arrive Alive Guarantee.

You should check out the new yellow color he just got in. I ordered mine yesterday can't wait to see it.

I got two rics from reeftopia and they are beautiful. Once they opened they were about 2 inches across each. The packing was great and they had a heat pack in there. The price is good at $14.00 and they have free shipping at $99.00. This was my second order with them and both were flawless. Just my 2 cents.

I picked up 11 diff colors from a shop here in indianapolis and I believe he was going to start shipping. (paradise reef.us)
Not much online yet but if you contact him he will find what you are looking for at a good price!!

gotta go with sealifeinc i just got an order in from them, everything was healthy, well packed and they opened up the first day and even got a few extras much to my delight. I will definitely be ordering from them again. Liveaquaria is great too but if it's ric's you are looking for cant go wrong w/sealifeinc.net.
