We have some great LFS in the area that I am more than happy to support. However, the availability of livestock online is incredible. Anyone have experience with online fish/coral buying? Pros/cons?
 
It depends on what you are buying. Fish are a lot more resilient (in my experience) than inverts and some corals. Also, chances are if you can get it online then your LFS can get it as well, and if you get it through them you have at least a little bit of a guarantee. I have been able to get fish from Barrier that I could not find online anywhere. (White tail bristletooth tang!)
 
I have done a few, upscales, atlantis, cherry corals, sexy corals, reeftopia. I had ZERO problems with any of my orders from them. I also like to support my LFS but theyreally don't carry the high end sps I am looking for.
