    Amazing facility, and great looking corals. I wish I could order from them, but can’t justify paying 2-3 times what other vendors charge.

    I just received 4 frags from TSA and I was impressed.
    The packaging was sturdy and just packed really well
    Also, when I dipped the corals there was virtually 0 hitch hikers, didn’t see any unwanted critters floatin around.
    Definitely be ordering from them in the future 👍🏼

    I have that yellow tip cristata from TSA. Got it during their easter sale for $40. I dropped $1.5k during that sale, 45+ different corals. Not a single DOA and only had a single bristleworm and baby aiptasia as hitchhikers. Really impressed with TSA.

    Beautiful Shop. I made it a point to visit on my last trip to Florida.
    And yep, one of the simple joys (and often frustrations) about this hobby is you never stop learning. Could not agree more good Sir.
    You also demonstrated why the hell genus and species are so important, despite the resistance from coral vendors. What TSA calls it, what You call it, and what Germany might call it can all be different. Yet, if it's been properly ID's in taxonomy: It's genus and species will be the same and lend a very strong starting point.
    And umm... Pavona cactus.

    I’ve had asterina in previous tanks with no problem whatsoever. My current set up has had them and they have 100% Been eating my zoas. Had to peel some off polyps where colonies were dying off and I had no idea why. After peeling off, which was unusually harder than normal, there were small white bite mates on the polyps where they had been on them feeding. Currently have two harlequin shrimps in there helping and zoas seem to be recovering.

    100% agree about the prices being listed. My local store doesn’t and I hate it. I haven’t been to a coral/reef show, but I’m not in a hurry for that exact reason. Watching some of the haggling that occurs makes me cringe-it’s just not my thing.

    • @kaldenkyulo4100

      Because the ones that don’t put price want to price based on what they think you will pay, if you look rich they will charge you more which is not cool

      Maybe that’s it. They must have large enough business or enough volume that they don’t care if they lose a few customers to others.

      It would surprise me if they had millions in livestock without investing a couple grand on a backup.

    • @hurricaneaquatics
      @hurricaneaquatics Год назад

      It would take more than a 2k generator to backup all that. More like a 25k generator. But yes, they definitely would have to have one in place.
