Coral Gazers is my number 1. Its a plus I live less than a mile from there. Chad has helped me out many a time. Has great deals on corals and live stock, is handy (drills, taps lights hehe) always plumbing things or testing equipment for people.
Ali at Amazing Aquarium and Reefs in Orange is also the man, nice guy, great shop, fancy schmancy corals.
Reef Raft is an incredible shop, but I'm not a big SPS guy and they didn't have any fish last time I was there, or much dry goods. Tony is a nice guy and definitely has collector pieces if your into that.
Age of Aquariums, another personal favorite, great fish stock, staff, equipment, has almost anything you will need.
I have been to other stores, its just not that often since I go to ones more local to me. But Sea Side in HB is cool, lots of fish, Coral Collection in Fountain Valley, those two guys are really cool, nice little shop, and um I've even gone to Tong's in the past as they always have a ton of inverts.
It stinks for the LFS owners but we here in So Cal have it made with all the variety and selection, its hard to shop or visit just one place.
