I have to jump on board and agree with everyone else here. Selection, professionalism and customer service is the best I have seen since I have been in this hobby. A+ to LA!

I've had good experience with ReefHotspot.com, (also an RC sponsor).

I will agree with live aquaria because I received 3 messed up fish (out of the 4) and they give me my money back PLUS shipping. The bad fish were 3 lyretail anthias (1 male/2 female), but the healthy one was the purple firefish.
Now what I didn't like was the chase I had to do to prove to them my tank was fine with a PH of 8.3, a Nitrate of <5, and so on. The guy told me "that wasn't right for a reef tank" and "my supervisor agrees". Took a few calls to get a lady that agreed that was correct and that the others were idiots. That's the one thing I didn't like.

LiveAquaria is great for fish. Their guarantee is great too. I've never once had my tank parameters questioned when there was a problem with a coral or fish from there. That's not the norm, IME.

I do like how they don't ask for proof of dead fish. No more saving the fish or taking pictures, only to find them a month later.

I have bought from saltwaterfish.com. Small inventory, but if they have what you want, it's a great price/shipping deal. Packing is done extremely well. They are no frills. No phone contact at all, their guarantee is very clearly stated. Expect nothing more. No hand holding.
