Jersey corals, buyers beware..

Do not recommend! Jerseycorals.com . I have used this company before and the owner Anthony is very sketchy. When I received my order half of the corals were dead. The corals were just thrown in the box with no support so some of the bags were busted and leaking water. The other half looked nothing like what I ordered and where the size of a pinky fingernail. I spoke with Anthony several times he said he would make it right. And of course he has disappeared and still hasn't made the situation right. I had to go to my bank and dispute the charges. When the bank pulled up their account they mentioned that there has been several disputes against this company. This is just my experience so buy a beware!!

I went & picked up a few corals last year from them for the first time. They're hidden away with no signage. Corals are on the small side, but everything else was fine. So maybe just a pickup type place.

I ordered from them before and also bought some acros at a swap. Everything was healthy and lots of polyp extension. They have been at all the swaps lately

I'm rather saddened to read all of this. I've bought from them twice with no problems. The first time, Antony delivered my order personally - with their cost of shipping containers and their shipping expenses, it was cheaper for them to deliver. This past weekend, I picked up an order from them. They're located in an odd part of Patterson (half industrial and half residential). The shop isn't easy to find, and isn't worth a visit (yet, I hope).

Anthony seems like a nice guy. The business is part-time for him, and his employees are just a few reefer friends. So, I'm inclined to give him a buy for now, and say his past business errors were caused by self-inflicted growing pains. (FWIW, I recollect he told me he was a full-time cop.)

I have purchased from them before and had a good experience. I only did one order for shipping and the rest I went by and picked it up. the place is definitely hidden and i had to definitely confirm with him that i was at the correct place.
I definitely agree that if you order,you should only consider pick up if you can.
