One needs to be added, and I know it is far from you guys (I am up in the central coast and it is 1.5 hrs south of me) but Triton Corals Santa Barbara is honestly worth your drive.
The owner Henson is extremely friendly, the deals are amazing (many frags that would cost you hundreds elsewhere can be had for much less), the SPS is probably the healthiest you will ever see, no pests, all QT'ed, and the variety is incredible.
When I want to buy coral, I drive south to Triton Corals. If you ever head north, make it a point to stop in and see the place.
The LFS' near me (central coast) have some great and knowledgeable people and good hardware, but the coral game is lacking up here at the moment.

Like to add Deep blue aquarium in North Hollywood. A lil hidden gem with lots of corals. Look closely and you will find some nice stuff. It's a family own business. I usually go on weekends to talk to Hong. He's very knowledgeable and fun to talk to. They always have corals or fish that is being baby sit for people on vacation or tank crashing.
