A few shots of some new WYSIWYG coral
African Blue Steel, Crown Royal, Lunar Eclipse, Fruit Loops, Tubs.
The Fruit Loops had lost their color, but have come back strong.

Since your a local sponsor can we order then come pick up so it cuts the shipping cost and stress to the corals?

I also have a soft spot also for zoas. I had a Rabbitfish in one of my ponds and in one night he ate my Purple Hornets and my Blue Hornets. I realized later he had eaten other frags. He was doing great getting rid of any pest algae, but I guess he had expensive tastes. The Rabbitfish was a gift from one of my suppliers. Thanks, but no thanks.

I can only ship. Driving from Marietta to Flowery Branch is like 1 1/2 hours each way, plus gas used. The coral is delivered to your door. There is very little stress in shipping coral. It is the way I get most of my coral. I have only lost xenia to shipping over the last 5 months. Xenia can be a difficult shipper if it is not prepared right. I had an order go to Michigan on a Thursday; on Friday Michigan had a weather event and the coral did not get delivered until Monday. They all lived and are thriving.

So how much is shipping to people that are less than 30 mins away?

What about meeting up at either a LFS or what about placing orders and picking them up at a meeting?

I think my pricing offsets a lot of the shipping costs. Plus until I get my discounted shipping charges for Georgia worked out ARC members will receive 15% off. I will try and make ARC meetings, if so I can bring orders at that time. But, I hope people will understand that I am only licensed for e-commerce, no retail. Also my ARC sponsorship is only for e-commerce. Believe me, I do not want to loose my license nor do I want to loose my sponsorship.

I really want the fruit loops but I am only a few min away. I can't justify paying shipping

I would advise setting up your own shipping company...that delivers next door to you! :)

Wow - wish my fruit loops would color up like those did, I need to move mine up a little and see if that helps the color.

I put mine between two other zoanthid colonies, which limited the flow. I have them high in my pond but not directly under the bulb.

Mine are too but only about 10" off the SB. I have seen some growth, about 10 polyps or so in a year which is great I think, Ill move them up to see what happens. I run T5's.

Your Blue Steels look awesome! Mine are finally taking off now - the oxides I got from you last year are doing really well too! Tons of ppl ask for frags but I havent wanted to part with any..lol.

Love the stock, Ill have to check out the site and pick some stuff out!!

Sold most of my oxides and the rest melted. I am up to about 10 polyps now. I had given some to a friend, his has grown his out and probably has 40-50 polyps. I think I am going to reach in his tank and pull some out when he is not looking. :lol2:

As of right now your only option for delivery is 1 day express and that's a lot to just ship ~20 miles. Just a suggestion but maybe add usps ground or even USPS priority as an option for locals.

I have tried to simplify my shipping fees. I ship to 48 states and and for 47 states priority overnight is the only way I ship. In the past I have offered a coupon code to my buyers in Georgia to lower shipping costs. But with offering an additional 10% for ARC members it is making the procedure a little more complicated. Hopefully it is a simple fix or a mod install will solve problem.
