Anyone have any recommendations for good LFS in Florida that has a good selection of SPS coral?

Maybe you should narrow the criteria a little bit. Florida is kind of big.

doesn't matter to me...fish stores give me a reason to travel...I live in Jax...been to Daytona, Gainesville, Orlando, Tampa...Just looking for some other good options for a reason to go out of town. I haven't seen a good selection of various acroporas, etc... yet where i've been

etropical.com in Miami has a nice selection on their web site. If you want to travel, call/contact jack, he's very accomodating and will set a time to check them out in person

Drive right by Sarasota, there is nothing to see here. Seascape is a good store for overpriced fish and soft corals but as far as SPS corals go they rarely get any in. And if they do, be prepared to take it in the A$$ for one. A small acro colony maybe 3" across was $120 for a typical brown acropora.
As far as fish go, Seascape is EXPENSIVE. But the health of his fish are great. Everything is quarantined before they are offered for sale.

One of the best stores for SPS corals is Pet Mart in Tampa and St. Pete. Great prices, great sizes and employees that are pretty damn knowledgeable.
what more can you ask for.
