best store for SMALL wild colonys

whats the best store to find small wild ( non mari non aqua cultured colonys) or even a shop that frags wilds...

i want to try some wilds in hope of getting something new . and also i feel wilds are less likely to have paracites on htem then the maricultured

The wild and aquacultured colonys have about the same chance of having parasites due to the fact that they come thru the wholesalers tanks. It is almost impossible to not have parasites in thier tanks when they handle the qty they do.

There is also more stress, hence more loss on wild collected colonys.

I know Pat used to get some great small wild colonys, but don't know if he still is.

buddy is not my first BBQ yes they do carry wild. As a matter of fact I did get a couple of colonies about 3 weeks ago.
Pretty sure they still have a wild pink milli. NOT MARICULTURED
