    Hiya,

    I know some of us have purchased corals from them in the past. Got a newsletter post that they have been robbed. Someone used stolen credit cards to purchase stuff. They've been taken for about $15,000. They're asking for donations and will be selling off a lot of their corals to try and make up this difference. Not sure when this sale is going to happen, but they mostly sell zoa's, yuma, mushrooms and rics.

    I saw this as well on the nano-reefs forums. I've never done business with them before so any reviews would be greatly appreciated. I'm a big zoa fan so this would be good for me.

    However, my tank is about to burst with frags.

    Hiya,

    I've gotten their stuff before and haven't had issues with it. Nice packaging and shipping.

    Placed an order with them. Wasn't big but hopefully it helps them out.

    Do we want to get a group buy together?

    I sent them a message asking if they do group buys. I will let you guys know what they say.

    My thought was to do it the same way we did with Brandon from Fraghouse Corals, Anthony from Prestige World Wide Corals, or Morgan from ReefGardener. We place our own orders, pay with our own cards, and have them sent to one location. They don't want to do that. They are concerned with sending coral to an address different than the billing address. I even sent them a link to this thread. I tried.

    I've stopped ordering from them. I'm not saying that I never would again, but they are what I consider to be a coral "chop shop." They take a colony and chop it up as small as they can with a goal of turning it really fast. Sometimes you can find nice pieces, but I've had better luck paying a little more with other online vendors.
