I agree, completely. All of my corals, and 1 rock flower from Tidal Gardens have been better than the pics! They arrive well shipped and healthy! I can't wait!

you can box this up and send it over now if you want!
Btw l second that suggestion. The coloration on the coral in person is super saturated, almost velvety. Even upon arrival when they are generally grumpy. My photo from an old iPhone 12 does it a disservice. I believe pic is from first night when the lights were ramping down and corals were retracting and readying for bed. Definitely worth adding to the collection.

I only buy corals during live sales. I get analysis paralysis when I walk into an LFS and end up not buying anything. Live sales spoon feed me the corals to buy. It works out PERFECTLY.

Agree... I wouldn't have any coral if it wasn't for live sales. I'm from Georgia. It has to be the worste state, for the hobby. We don't have any reef stores, close by. The closest (coral/reef) store is 3 hours away. Petco (enough said.) I feel like there are less than 10 people in Georgia, in this hobby/obsession. I love love live sales! Looking forward to some new coral babies!

That is a bummer. No one around to trade and buy/sell with others. Ohio is a hot spot for coral. Aside from Cali and Florida, I would say it's number 3.

Funny enough, the best grower I’ve gotten from tidal gardens live sales is a watermelon psamacorra that was a freebie. Way off the frag plug and claiming the rock.
Looking forward to this sale
Awesome. My personal favorite Psammocora is our Fireworks Psammocora.

HOW THE SALE WORKS

We will be posting a new batch of WYSIWYG corals EVERY 4-6 MINUTES starting at 11:00 AM EST. Each item will be shown here on Reef2Reef with a link to buy them on the Tidal Gardens website.

Attached is a screenshot of previous sales. You will see the coral picture, the name of the coral, the retail price, and the sale price. Then the link at the bottom to buy the coral on the Tidal Gardens Website.

The corals do not show up on our website and can only be accessed with each individual link to buy them.

I've only participated in 4-5 live sales. 1 of the things that goes on... that people don't come out and say... (after buying $35 shipping module)....so, there are a list of coral drops every (approx.) 5-10 minutes... that are great corals, for good sales price. The part they don't come out and say is: people race/compete to get the "free"/$5/$10 corals... so, you are constantly refreshing the page (newest drop/update)... because... you have to claim it/add to cart and CHECK OUT 1st to get them. Just because you add it to your cart, does not mean you get it. It's the 1st person that checks out/pays for it. I'll give a couple examples.... you see a $5 or $10...a race to get it takes place. Lets say... you see $100 hammer, it may be a great hammer, and at a great price....you can order it/check out at your leisure. People aren't going to "mad dash" to checkout. You can take your time/maybe, jot down the thread/round number that you saw the coral you are interested in... so, you can get it later. (they can still sell out, but you can have some time to think.) It kinda reminds me of radio contests... the person who calls in first, gets it. I've always managed to get the 2 - $5, and 2-$10... but, dedicate the day 11am-5pm. There are people (on here) that will help you along the way. If you don't try for the $5, or $10 deals...or, you don't get them.....No worries...you will still get great corals for a good sale price. just in case you are wondering... NO!, I don't work for them... But, someone helped me, my first sale. :) And, they are a lot of fun! We cut up, on here...along the way! Hope it helps. Happy Reefing

yep. Nothing here... people see Columbus and think, Ohio. Unfortunately (for coral)... it's Columbus, Ga. Thank goodness, for live sales! Looking forward to it! I got my shipping module, and I'm all set!

Oh man! Columbus is rough. I'm from Bainbridge. There are quite a few reefers in Ga.... but none that I am aware of in south west Georgia! Except you now! ;) Atlanta has quite a few. And I thought there were some in Birmingham. Still not close drives. sounds like you need to check out a show!!! I think Than is going to reefstock in Denver, maybe aquashella Dallas, and maybe the aquatic expo in charlotte.

We just had the warmest, most mild winter I've ever know, so you may just get your wish this year ;-)
Lol. I LOVE snow. So I want either snow or flowers... no other options really exist in my mind.,... Though I suppose some flowers need a little cold to bloom. So I guess I'll have to permit some time without flowers.

We saw almost no snow this year. We used to get so much snow, but not in the last five years or so. We are skiers and were looking forward to the ski season this winter, but it has been terrible. At this point, I'm over winter, and looking forward to Spring and getting the veggie garden going.

OMG That would be awesome! You should do that Than!
Than has done that on prior live sale events, I've seen those videos. Hopefully he does a video for this sale too.
