Where do people order sharks/rays online? I have ordered from live aquaria but there selection is often slim pickings. I did come across yourfishstore.com but hate ordering from places that aren't widely known.
Online suppliers?

I look at the Yourfishstore.com website and always wonder they have good fish and stuff but I can never find reviews on them. I was going to buy from them but backed off because there were no reviews and I didn't want to take a risk and I have a pretty small income so I couldn't afford to waste money on fish on a site with no reviews or youtube videos.
I personally recommend Blue Zoo Aquatics. I have ordered my saltwater fish from them numerous times and each one has been terrific. Shipping was fast and fish came in perfect. The only DOA I had was a foxface and that was because my shipment got stuck in IL due to a winter storm and my box came 2 days late. Surprisingly my manila puffer, maroon clown, and others were all fine but the foxface was the biggest so maybe all the cold went to him. They immediately shipped out another foxface as soon as I sent a DOA picture and he came alive and well, but this time they sent me a one spot foxface which I was very happy with because I wanted one of them.
Below I have some pics of the fish I got from them.

They also have something very similar to Live Aquaria's Divers Den but it's called Collector's Corner.

If you live near an airport, I'd recommend Shark & Reef for sharks and rays. https://www.sharkandreef.com/sharks-sting-rays-bat-rays/
I've ordered from here a few times and all have been great. Shipping is cod, and for me was around $60
I'd steer clear of yourfishstore.com.

Ask your LFS they should be able to get it. They are both fairly common and you can save on shipping. Try the place Riley recommended or NY aquatics has corals in sometimes. Aquarium Village in NY has a Coral Catshark in about 9 inches. They are a vendor on reef2reef so I assume they ship.
Any of you guys can feel free to contact me. I haven't spent much time MFK last couple years. Seems to me there is much more going on with the Facebook groups.
