Hi, I came in contact with a guy from craigslist that does wholesale box sales (LPeshke). He only requires a minimum order of one box (around 20 corals) + his profit, totaling between $300-400 per box of full grown colonies.
Has anyone dealt with this guy before? I am looking forward to buy some corals but a whole box is too much, so if someone is interested just email me, korntes at gmail

We should do a group buy, but from the wholesaler directly. Something about having to wait for somebody or meet them near lax is kinda fishy if you ask me. the pricing on coral is only about $10-$20 than from buying from a lfs. And you never know what your going to get in that box but most likely some common coral types.

Yup we do  It is very unlikely they will carry any rare type of coral unless you go to oculus. But even there you would have to spend over $1k on common type coral to even be able to get your hands on some of the prized type coral, which is the coral we like in our tanks. |

Oh I don't know if I want to stock up with rare and fancy corals right from the beginning. I remember back in Chile I was pretty happy with zoas, xenias, kenyas, some torchs and frogspawns, mushrooms, etc. I had some brown/green montiporas also but nothing fancy. I just want to add some "initial" color to my setup.

Paul from "Fantastic Frags" will be at the next meeting and he has really nice pieces for good prices. I think this would be a better option for your tank if your starting back up again.
Vivid is getting a large shipment from oculus on Monday after 3pm. This would be a great time to cherry pick the pieces they just cherry picked from oculus. I will be there.

im down for a group buy, I also agree with detane. Paul has awesome frags for unbelievable prices, and I have been content with buying almost all my corals
from him.

Guys
We have sponsor here who is already giving us a great deal.
Talking about wholesaler is not appropriate since we are getting sponsored.
We know some of us here have wholesale access but we should keep that in private in respect to our current and future sponsors.
Thank you
