are those decorations? or live animals, if it is live coral, it seems you found the cheapest place on the net. lol

[Courtney]

they are all dried

You're not going to find many sources of cheap dead coral skeletons -- as far as I know the big dead coral curio trade has mostly dried up (I think they may be illegal to import now).

I haven't seen dead coral skeletons for sale in a LFS for about 10yrs.

I have thats where i got my dried mushroom plate thingy is my lfs...

Artificial coral is expensive, really, anywhere you buy it from.

All I can suggest is looking at That Pet Place. Prices are lower, and shipping won't cost you 40$ in itself.

[leveldrummer]

if your just looking for dead corals, check around with your local reef club, or find a thread where someone just crashed a tank, they would probably mail them too you for cost.

[Courtney]

we dont have a local reef club / aquarium club or any other clubs for that matter

[leveldrummer]

here is one in cincinnati, not sure how close you are. but its a start.

Lava rock wouldn't be my first choice as a saltwater decor. Not only are those things dangerous to your tank (being lava rock you never quite know what elements are in them)... but their surfaces are usually algae magnets.

[Courtney]

cincinnati is really far from me...

[leveldrummer]

lol, they are around, you gotta look! im not doing all the work for ya! either of these any closer?

there are bound to be more, find them, ask around, and im sure you can get tons of coral skeletons if you just try. beats paying for them!

yea, i see that in your description, i thought pittsburg was rather close, and the eerie club seems located near you too, i guess its not close enough though. still worth a try of digging around their sites looking for skeletons.
