How many tanks and how big are the tanks you are going to be stocking?

If those are all for one tank, you definitely have some compatibility/aggression issues.

Some of the more common ones like mushrooms, leathers and candycanes you should be able to get as frags from local club members. You don't list your location, but if I were you I would find out if there is a local reef club. Members often trade and/or sell frags at reasonable prices. And you get to see what they look like in a tank, un-photo-shopped.

That will be a full tank but don't let the negativity get you down, we don't follow "the rules" either.

I have never bought corals online before but from what I hear, LiveAquaria.Com is a good place to buy from.

I've come across there website and was put of the idea that there shop is based in America and will have to get the 'coral' shipped over! also not sure if you can pay with an English bank card as everything on the site is in dollers?
correct me if im wrong!

I think you would have import issues, like Canada has when it comes to importing livestock. i would think you would need a UK or EU supplier to make it the easiest, and have the best chance of it arriving alive.
