AI, has some nice stuff, over priced, and lots of bugs, every time I am in I see zoa eating nudi's and lots of their corals are marked as popular named things... but having some of these named corals from the original source I know they are not the proper corals. I have to say I only visit once every few months, and it has been a while so I can only hope things have changed.
Red Coral, what can I say, steve is great and has the nicest corals in the city, and consistantly the nicest corals in the city, a little birdie has mentioned a little competition is coming though.
Marine Aquaria, Josh is great too, and nicest fish in the city, they do get some nice corals in, but they move fast and don't come in often enough.
Blue World, Ken is great too, and a year ago he would get some great corals in too, but it has been a long time since much note worthy has come in. Lots of empty tank space, and seldom gets more then the normal plain fish in.
Aqua giant and big als, well I check them out when I drive by, but mostly just to kill time, your mileage my vary.
I know I have missed some great employees that work at these stores, but the list would get long fast.
Don't worry too much about price, just ask yourself if you are ok paying for what you are looking at. Not all fish and corals are equal.
