CFM - torch vendor recommendation?

[fishy408]

Excited to go to CFM this weekend, it's been a while since my last visit.
This time I am looking for Torches! Any vendor on the list you have purchased from and would recommend? Are there any you would avoid? (you can pm privately if you prefer)

Arvin. His business name is Kay’s corals. He’s a bar member and sponsor

Anyone not selling wild stuff that came in last weekend and was chopped up to make a quick profit this weekend.

would vendors mention that they are wild? I'm just curious since I have never been to CFM.

You can ask where they source their corals from. If you're looking for something that has been well quarantined I would go with Arvin @ Kay's Coral Cove

Both our sponsors @coralexotic and @Arvin R aka Kay's Coral Cove for sure aren't chop shops. It's pretty obvious who does though at the show if you ask around.

I've gotten a couple torches from port city corals. They have always been really healthy and still thriving in my tank. He is local ish to me and I have had nothing but great experiences going through him.

Quick tip for torches is to ask to see the underside and check for a nice healthy flesh band no matter who you buy from. Looks like there's plenty of options available for you from what I saw today.

Great thing to mention. It’s easy to get distracted by the pretty top-down view so you don’t remember to check.

These were from Arvin and have been doing well. One is the Phat variant of the Miami Hurricane from what I found out. So I'll be looking for one with blue tips tomorrow to add to my collection. The unemployment check came in just in time
