We totally understand your concern! Pests and parasites are a common worry in reef keeping, but it's also part of the hobby—managing them is something every reef keeper faces at some point. At Zeo Box Reef, we take extra care to minimise any risks.Every coral we get in is carefully inspected and dipped before it even enters our systems. After that, we monitor them for about 2-4 weeks, checking their health, vitality, and colour to ensure they’re thriving. Only after we're confident in their condition do we offer them for sale.

We also don’t sell marine fish, which helps prevent any fish-related parasites from entering our systems. The few fish we do have have been with us for years, and they’re completely pest-free.

That said, while we inspect each coral before shipping, we can’t fully guarantee that every single pest is eliminated—especially since we do work with wild-collected corals. That’s why we always recommend dipping any new corals before adding them to your tank, just as an extra precaution. It's part of the reef-keeping experience, and being proactive helps keep your tank healthy in the long run!

No, it is not necessary to be present as all orders are marked with an "Authority to leave" notice. If a secure and safe location is not available on your property and the order cannot be left at your doorstep, such as in the case of apartment buildings, we suggest having your order delivered to your workplace.

Shopping for live coral for sale online can be a source of worry for reef hobbyists, who can never be entirely sure what will arrive in the mail. Will it resemble the coral they saw online? While there is no substitute for an in-person viewing of the coral, we offer What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) corals to alleviate concerns. Our WYSIWYG corals allow you to preview the actual coral fragment or colony before making a purchase. We take pride in photographing all our corals under Ecotech Radion G5 LED Light fixtures. We use professional-grade Full Frame DSLR cameras and lenses to capture the highest quality representation of the coral. We also provide multiple photos of the coral under different light spectrums, including full spectrum (white light) and heavy blue spectrum. We also offer size approximations for every coral in centimeters. This measurement is taken when the coral is fully expanded, providing you with a better understanding of the amount of space the coral will occupy in your aquarium.

Zeo Box Reef Aquaculture prides itself on being a leader in the industry for packaging and shipping corals. We have a meticulous approach to packaging methods to ensure that your order arrives in optimal condition. Our team carefully hand-picks and packs each order with great care. Coral fragments are placed in specially designed containers and secured using chemically inert foam floats. For larger corals, we use a double-bagging method and add activated carbon to achieve optimal water quality during shipping. To maintain the ideal temperature conditions during transit, we use thick-walled styrofoam boxes with heat/cold packs as needed. Our shipping options include door to door Star Track Premium freight or same day Airport-to-Airport delivery. Both options are fast and secure.
