Whenever I see these, I have to post about The Shark Reef. For LPS and Rose bubble anenomes, they are hands down the best price. Eric is a direct importer, No sea dwelling creatures, etc from California. Huge shipments with large specimens and small frags for a fraction of the cost. There is always plenty to choose from. So if you will make it to Silverdale in Kitsap county, West side of Puget Sound for the out of towners, you have to stop. As far as supplies on hand for great eye candy and SPS, I would say Blue Sierra. For best price although not on hand but available in a few days and the best service, Coral Beauty wins here. There Livestock is nice as well. Livestock is displayed in a way that everything looks like it is part of the display tanks. I sometimes feel awkard about asking prices, but they are interested in the hobby themselves and the hobbyists and want to talk to you about what you need and want and asking about specimens and price is a great way to get a conversation going. Hopefully more SPS will be available and do not forget about the live food they offer. Look at their tanks and you will see what live regular feedings will do. Their livestock do not survive, THEY THRIVE. Despite my favorites, I do make it to all of the local stores and buy certain things from each one. I like the differences I see even though I sometimes leave a couple of the stores shaking my head.
Best of luck and happy hunting
