I just stopped by last night and talked to owner Matt (old friend). He stated that he will do a grand opening day around beginning of the first week September. He also will do a frag swap at his store in October. I like the back yard of his store, it's good for frag swap. The store has not complete done yet but I saw some of rare corals and fish in there. I'm sure Matt will have more rare stuffs and discount price in his Grand Opening. I hope Matt will jump in here for more detail.

I stopped by the other day on my way to Tong's. They had a little bit of livestock in their tanks. They had a beautiful true flame nem that i would have instantly snagged if it were for sale. He said he wanted to propagate it so I guess it'll be awhile before it goes on sale.

Overall it was a nice little store with potential. I can't wait to see it when it's fully stocked.

Hey Wayne! It was nice meeting you, This is Matt one of the Co-owners of Coral Collection. We ended up propagating that flame nem and they are both already healing up nicely so if your back in the area anytime soon swing by and snag one up.

Hey Tony, It was good seeing you the other night old friend. Thank you for posting up about the new store. We are shooting for an early September Grand Opening where we will have a couple monster sized pizzas from our Neighbor's at Dano's Pizza and will be raffling off some prizes. As for now a date has not been set in stone so we will be sure to keep everyone on here posted when we know for sure.

Jose!! It was great catching up with you! I'm super excited about the shop opening up but i really want to come check out your tank. I haven't been over there in years and the other Co-owner Mark (hookedonreef-er) hasn't ever been over there. Let us know when when we can come by and check out the goods.

went in today and got some water, a clown and a cc wild purple moster
How's that frag doing John? Thanks for that Super Purple Nurple sponge you brought is lovin it so far.

They are located in the Shopping center off Magnolia & Hiel in Westminster north of 405 ( dunno exact address). They picked me up a couple more fish to finish my collection for my new 120. Female blue jaw trigger and a Gold midas blenny. both fish are doing fine. I will attempt to post up some pics of the fish i have received from them.

I tried calling them today to see if they had a Kleins in stock but there was no answer. I'll check back in a bit.

No info about hours on their windows, but they had a sign saying "will return at 4:30". Waited a half hour then left. Not the best first impression but I'm sure I'll be back anyway to look at again.
