I just got four diadema urchins a week ago from Pet Solutions. Their price was over half of other online vendors and their packaging was one of the best I have seen.
I would give them :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

thanks for your reply; I guess fish and coral are not bought from online dealers since 58 people looked at this tread and could not recommend a vendor.
Thanks;

Live Aquaria has a good reputation. They have a 14 day guarantee and have a no hassle refund policy. I haven't had anything but good experience with them.
I also ordered some corals from Sharky's Reef - they had excellent service and I will definitely order from them again.

had good luck with live aquaria.com....heard good things about reeftopia and marine depot live but no personal exp. with the last two.
purchased fish corals and LR from live aquaria with no problems on DOA green chromis ( out of ten) but they refunded money NQA
good luck!

Definitely go with reeftopia for cleaner crews, etc. Highly recommended and very well priced.

Another vote for Live Aquaria and Reeftopia. I always have good luck with both.

I have ordered from the following:
Sharkysreef (http://www.sharkysreef.com)
Reeftopia (http://www.reeftopia.com)
And both have been very good over all... Dennis was awesome, and Reeftopia has some nice pricing... Packaging on both were very well done also...
Since I am local to Phishybusiness (www.phishybusiness.com) I have stopped in and he has some nice corals (I have picked up a few things)... Just for the short 20min drive he packs them up very nice... Good prices as well... LOTS of SPS...

i have a vote for petsolutions. i had 5 snails arrive DOA and they credited me no questions asked.
Everything else in the order was perfectly healthy.

If you are ordering HARDY fish then Live Aquaria. (had more than a few "Restricted Species" arrive barely alive and die the same day. BUT THEY ALWAYS, AND I MEAN ALWAYS ARE TRUE TO THE WORD AND HAVE ALWAYS REPLACED ANY DOA. Never once have they not replaced a dead item for me. They are truly top notch, but the less hardy fish have a grim survival rate IMO. I would still order from them in a heartbeat. Truly top notch.
Reefermadness for corals, but their prices seem to have gone up lately, maybe not, but it looks like it to me.
Salty Critter (local for me) BEST OF THE BEST HANDS DOWN.

I am actually going to try them this week I think. A lot of good reviews makes me think they are a good company to deal with.
