Hand-collected Hard and Soft Corals |
|
These corals are ordered directly from the point of origin ... various places in Indonesia and the South Pacific, in full boxes only ... approximately 15-20 pieces in the box, depending on where they are from. A box-lot is a perfect way to stock an aquarium, or split an order with a couple of friends if you're each looking for about a half dozen pieces. Ordering a box and splitting it amongst friends is a great way to save on shipping, since airport to airport shipping rates are lower than overnight services. It's also a great way to obtain some rare varieties that often are not seen in your local tropical fish store ... this is because they are being shipped to you directly and no one else has picked through your box of corals. If you are interested in aquaculture, it can help you get your project started and obtain some truly interesting species. There is a variety of availability, so please see the lists shown below in order so you can get an idea of where the different corals are ordered from. If you are interested in ordering, please send an e-mail inquiry with your airport information so we can ensure that your airport is one we can ship to. Indonesia Corals List Tonga Corals List Fiji Corals List Some additional information and ordering details .... Indonesia Corals The Indonesia coral boxes include an average of 18 to 23 pieces. Upon arrival in Los Angeles, the water is changed and the bags are re-ox'd and the box is repacked. It is then immediately shipped to your local airport for you to pick up the following day. All of the coral photos on this site were corals that we ordered in the exact way as we are describing. Sometimes, if certain selections aren't available, a substitution will be collected and sent, so we always ask you to send us some alternate selections, just in case. The sizes are usually very good and smaller pieces are not usually the case. There are NO half or broken pieces. These are pieces that have absolutely NEVER been fragmented or broken into parts or in half. They are entire mushroom rocks, polyps rocks, or corals. You will find that our sizing standards are on the high end ... what is called a medium by some is probably a small to us. Most of the pieces would be medium to large by any standard. Many of the mushrooms, polyps, and corals featured on our Indonesia Corals List range from $25-30.00. Larger pieces, rarer types or some other varieties may be a bit higher. Fiji Corals Our fiji coral supplier is one of the original Fijian shippers. It is not the cheapest Fiji, but we believe it is the best. It usually takes over a week for your order to be filled, but it is more than worth the wait. The assorted acroporas are the premier item. A box of Fiji corals has 12 to 15 pieces per box.

E-mail us your "want list" and we'll send some prices back to you. A box of corals will ship for about $50-60 freight on the average to your local airport. Sometimes it's only $50 if you live in the western U.S., about $60 to the middle of the country, and $70 to the east. The boxes consist of approx. 20+ pieces and the freight averages around $60, depending on your location, so your shipping will be about $3-4 per piece. |
