This place used to be the go to place in AZ even with their higher prices.
The last two years have been bad for them. Employees that don't help and the ones that do flat out lie to your face.
I was in the store to trade some SPS corals. Some frags where choice (cali tort full color 2-3 inches) other not so much but still nice (faded tri color acros resembling Garf Bonsai 3-5 inches faded from being under the colony but with bright tips and full flesh) and a very nice colony of Chong Bong Zoa (50+ heads).
I was told the time before this that they were trying to get into more natural color corals (brown and tan). This time they didn't take any of my SPS because (from the same employee)
Store: "we are moving away from SPS unless they have bright color".
But didn't they say they were moving away from un-natural color coral last time I was in
Me: Umm, "Did you see the Cali Tort frags (full bright color)?"
Store: "Yes but we aren't going to take them." "We will take the zoa
though."
Me: "No, I'll just take everything home."
Store: "We'll take zoa."
I think the kid wanted to frag some for himself
Me: "No, I'll take everything home!" Why would I wanna give you a $5 per zoa piece that has 50 heads on it for $20? If you would take all the corals I brought today for $60-80 then I would say ok!"
