Does anyone ever wonder where our LFS gets their stuff from? I would really like to read up on alot of the places that ship coral to the US...is there a site that would have these listed?

You know where and how they get the stuff...the conditions it is kept in...who they ship it through...shipping duration, etc?

Walt Smith, ORA in Florida, individual frag farmers.

yes, those are a few...but they are in the minority...I am talking about the transshippers where alot of the wild caught colonies come from...ORA and walt smith are the top people in the US and walt smith is the big dog...they have a ton of places all over the globe...but I am sure there are other main ones out there...and would like to see how my hard earned money is being spent

Tonga, Fiji, and Bali are some of the major places...at least for maricultured... IMO walt smith's stuff is a drop in the bucket and not really worth the money....I don't even think enough of him to capitlize his name. lol
