A long overdue update on the 135g mixed reef tank after the crash earlier this year. I have tried my best to clear out space so the tank is not as overcrowded… alas, corals are reclaiming the freed space already, so it looks like a Fall Cleaning is in order. We also take a sneak […]

I think “Gentleman” is the perfect term to describe Red, the Care Taker / Share Owner of the store. While not a large store, the Coral Reef Shop is a well stocked, healthy, vibrant, knowledgeable local fish store […]
Today we visit an absolutely stunning SPS tank by Joe (Tusi) in New York. It has won Tank of the Month on Reef2Reef twice (never happens before), as well as winning the Best Reef Tank for Reef Choice Awards 2022. Joe shared with us his experience on how to keep a successful reef tank, as […]
It is no secret that the “Weeping Willow” leather coral is one of the most sought after soft coral at the moment. There are different morphs out on the market but this particular strand of Japanese Weeping Willow from the Canadian reefer Josh (@rapfrog on Instagram) has got to be one of the most impressive […]
