When you say "coral chips" are you refering to frags?

And what size are you expecting?

Typically frags are usually small around 1", 1 head, 5 polyps, etc...

Be a little more specific about what your looking for in terms of corals, zoos, polyps, leathers, LPS, SPS.

Then are you wanting 2" 5" 7" etc...

Help me understand what you are expecting then I can make better recommendations.

Yea that would make more sense.

In that case what are you looking to spend and what do you expect to recieve?

Example.
8 head neon green frogspawn for 20$

Cheap is kind of relative, so let me know what your expecting and I can make better recommendations.

http://www.reefermadness.us/RMDF_20_Frag_pack.htm free shipping 20 LPS frags for $200

http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/s...cfm?pCatId=751 free shipping if you order more than $225 from this site.

http://www.garf.org/ usually does 10 corals for 100 dollars but they are very small frags, but usually very nice. Shipping isn't free so your looking at around $150 for 10 1" corals.

If your looking for lots of things that will be nice in time I would suggest one of the above routes with your budget. Get one of these give it a few months and things will really start to grow under the right conditions.
