Tell us a little about your system. Especially tank size, lighting, flow, parameters, fish, and filtration system.
But beyond that, best place to buy corals might be your local fish stores. A good place to start online after that might be liveaquaria.
Let us know.![]()

Then comes LPS (large polyp stoney) corals like Open Brain, Bubble, Hammer, etc. Then comes the SPS (small polyp stoney) corals that are usually reserved for more advanced hobbyists. These types of corals require lots of energy in form of light and water movement, and they don't tolerate bad water chemistry as well as soft corals or LPS do.
There are a lot of mail order vendors that sell live corals and are good sellers. These include marinedepotlive.com and liveaquaria.com. Of course, the easiest and arguably the best way to buy corals is to find a good local fish store to patronize.
