Those are some cheap prices, there site is almost as confusing as GARF though. Another site with cheap prices that i have been reluctant to order from is www.fishsupply.com. Anyone have any info about them?

Yes, I agree with you but I stopped getting too worked up over online vendors that listed Nurse Sharks, Blue Ringed Octopuses and Pinnated Batfish for sale when I realized that many of the vendors that we all deal with list some of the same animals. I guess that's not exactly a morally defensible attitude, but it is pragmatic.

I'm sure folks might want to know the source of some of their livestock and whether it is all net caught. An interesting item from their website: minimum order is $75, shipping averages $25 -$50, they are not responsible for loss due to shipping delays or carrier mishandling, they guarantee "live arrival" only, call within 4 hours if anything arrived dead, customer pays for shipping on any replacements, customer files claim with carrier for any loss caused by carrier neglect (Catch 22: Carriers will not cover loss of livestock due to delays that are weather related or beyond their control.)

Actually they are only about 10 miles from me. I have been their a few times. They are ok. Sometimes they have some nice fish but they never have had any real nice corals. Some plates and sponges mostly. I did buy my regal tang from them. I do buy my snails and blue legs from them also. I think they were 50 cent apiece. I dont know about their shipping practices though.
