What people say
I got back into reefing when I…
I got back into reefing when I discovered this shop in Chula Vista. I’ve made attempts at it throughout the past 5 years but failed. Now that this shop is local to me I’ve found new success. I’ve been at the shop multiple times since they opened. The guys in there are very knowledgeable and very helpful. On top of that they’re Veterans! Needless to say my coral have survived and thrived with the help and support of these guys. They have a variety of corals. Their display tanks are very inspirational. They are very responsible when comes to shipping. I was there when they were packaging and the care for these coral was exceptional! I recommend everyone to take a look.
Fantastic customer service
Fantastic customer service! A caring group of people.

incredible seller. I made a decision and added to my order after I had paid. celery funded the shipping and shipped together. everything arrived vibrant and clean. huge improvement to my ecosystem
Easy ordering and great selection!
Everything great
Simple and easy
Corals arrived in great shape
Corals arrived in great shape, there were no pests (except a few bubble algae, easily removed) and communication was great! I have already bought again!
Trustworthy and excellent customer service
Trustworthy and truly cares for their corals. Goes out of their way to meet customers requests and needs. Standard practice for them to check weather at destination and distro hub before sending out corals, communicates well if there is a problem. As a hobbyist, this is extremely rare in this industry. Highly recommended and has my complete trust with superior quality and excellent customer service.
These guys have a great selection
These guys have a great selection, love the way they package their product. I received my coral in a healthy state , even got some Reefing orange filtered glasses to see my corals pop. I'm definitely going back for more.
Happy Customer
Very happy with my purchase. Corals are beautiful. Was packaged well and acclimated nicely. Website is very nice and easy to navigate.
All 3 of my coral purchased died
All 3 of my coral purchased died! The water temperature was 62 degrees when it was delivered with 2 corals showing signs of DOA. The 3rd coral after careful drip acclimation did not make it. By the 2nd day the soft flesh was rotting off the coral. It died at day 3. My conclusion is that the water got colder during shipping in the airline. To receive it at 62 degrees which I sent pictures to Reef Geek leaves a lot to assume, but if it was shipped at 80 degrees and received at 62 I believe it got colder!

Hello Andrew. Although we appreciate your feedback, you've seemed to omit the fact that you specifically requested that we ship your order in dry ice, even though it was not required. Against our better judgement, we obliged, leading to the unfortunate loss. You've also failed to mention that we did not hesitated in offering resolutions that are within our DOA policy. We would be happy to speak to you further if you'd like. Thank you!

Pretty much the best site when it comes to buying live corals. I’ve been an active hobbyist for years and can say these guys have the best selection and the best prices. Great customer service too.
