New coral store

Did anyone else see that rapid LED is now selling corals!!! I just checked out their website.

rapidcoral.com

Hope this isn’t breaking any club rules by me posting the link to their website.

MAN

They have some nice corals!!

If anyone in the Delaware area is going to place an order LMK, I’d like to order something but don’t want to pay $40 shipping for 1 item.

Oh wow! They have some fairly large sizes of some unusual corals. and some overpriced regular stuff too. Like for $100 a pop, I got all the purple rim green monti cap you can eat! or i got to throw it out. But a few of the unusual corals they listed i might like, they are out of stock.

But i will add it to my library for the future. I like new stores.

good find HBM!

You might also look at VIVID, I have never ordered from them, but i sure like their selection as pictured!

nice stuff too!

Really… you guys think that stuff is nice and unusual? Maybe you’ve been spending too much time at the computer.

It looks as if they use the same importer as Premium Aquatics.(well one that Premium uses as they use several in order to provide the best product) There isn’t a single coral I see there which I have not seen in a shop right in Newark, Delaware. Seriously I see nothing special there and if you buy corals from them versus local they have to ship to you increasing the risk of them surviving. If you buy local the shop takes most of the risk.

Premium has some frags in their frag tanks to not just a “There are no products in this category.” A good bit more sustainable and the money is split between a local hobbyist and a local store. I heard they got a lot of their frags from some crazy old local person. :wink: He brings in some sweet stuff.

I was thinking of the ORA “joe the coral” $40 is less than the $60+ of other places. Does anyone have this and willing to frag? I’m looking for a new different colored SPS

Jon I was looking at the Aussie corals and the size of some of those. The ORA are pretty common

DE Premium’s corals are ok I guess.

There is joe the coral frag for $65 that has been sitting there for at least 3 months. Maybe you can make an offer.

DPAs ORA frags have been there so long, they have doubled in size and colored up nice under their LEDs. Might become a display tank.
