Look for local Reef clubs. Many hold monthly meetings and trade out frags.

But heres a few links.

Aquarium Fish: Tropical Freshwater Fish and Saltwater Fish for Home Aquariums

Buy Fish Online: Buy Tropical Fish, WYSIWYG corals, clams and inverts online at the Divers Den

Does the shipping price still equal or exceed the actual purchase price of the corals?

Try ebay. Most people will sell you six frags for only one overnight charge.

I bought my first 6 colonies on ebay & it went fine except for the aiptasia but I guess thats just one of those things you have to deal with eventually.

I love to order zoas from Vivid Aquariums - Buy Online - Fish Store in Los Angeles - Buy Saltwater Fish, Live Corals, Live Rock, Drygoods and Aquarium Supplies they have a huge selection a little more costly but there packing techniques and live on delivery is the best.

E-bay is the worst place to buy IMO (I've been screwed many times)... You should check around in various forums/websites for good deals on what you want.

Careful with blanket statements. I have purchased all my zoos on ebay with amazing success.

Agree with William. Vivid has several of the great looking Zoas. I have a few from them. Always been happy but always paid full price for FRAGS of zoas. I havent found really cool Zoas that are ID for anything less than top dollar. If you find a good place please share the info with the rest of us.

I have purchased eleven corals from ebay...zoas, caulastrea, blastomussas, star polyps, and others and have not lost one. All arrived next day, and are now propagating nicely. I would buy from there again. I have had other issues with ebay in buying homebrewing equipment, and those people eagerly made things right.

Personally I prefer getting Zoa frags at my local fish store because I like seeing them in person and most of the time they are cheaper than online when you consider the shipping charges. So I would suggest checking out a local fish store as well.
