We bought a fish here a month ago. This store was pretty small, but well managed. Also, the owner was friendly.

I was so excited to bring home a pair of crown fish and anemone with him! They look so healthy, and I can't wait to see the crown fish swimming around the anemone. Plus, he shared some great advice with me.

Ali has the best corals i have personally seen (i've seen many aquatic/reef shops). His corals are beautiful, thriving, and vibrant in color! Ali is highly knowledgeable in his area of expertise, has a easy going personality, & he gives amazing tips to help your marine tank thrive as well. Unfortunately, I'm not a local, but that doesn't stop me from driving 2 hrs just to buy some corals from him. 10/10 recommend!
