Which is the price ladder when it comes to coral? Some tell me red mushrooms are on the top while other say purple. I saw a ricordea at saltwaterfish.com for $7.99, but in the LFS the want up to $30 for a single colored polyp. Any tips on what to buy and where to buy it?

I've had very good luck with saltwaterfish.com, and I trust them not to ship my contagious fish although I still quarantine. They also provide a 15 day warranty and directions on how to acclimate your specimen. Ebay is also a good spot for coral. If you find somebody reasonably local, then they can ship priority mail and you can avoid the overnight fees. I'm not very happy with my LFS. They just push volume and couldn't care less of the specimen lives, dies, or infects your tank with parasites. I've also gotten much misleading advice from such stores. Buyer beware and never take advice verbatim. --Kurt How about frag clubs? I see some of them online. Any experience on trading coral?

Not yet. I've seen them too. Although I'm just starting to get into corals. I'd be very careful to QT everything. I hear that flatworms often piggy back on coral frags. --Kurt Yea, but flat worms rarely harm anything other than hair algae, unless you put a chemical in to kill them all off at once.
