Was driving home today... Saw the sign for Coral Collection
New Store off Magnolia & Heil (north of 405 fwy)
The store was just starting up so all the frags werent in store yet but the livestock selection was awesome. Rare fish to common fish at very good prices, worth the stop if you are in the area and wanna change in scenery from the local north OC shops. If i have some time ill post a couple pics of the shop tomorrow.

online store got some sweet and hard to find selections for sure!.. but retailing a quarter mile down the street from Tong's!?.. sounds like a bad idea but actually great idea cause he could pick up some of the Tong's traffic... Especially since reefers love to shop around...

yeah Tongs is a rip off.....Im sure he can steal some business from them especially if the online prices are the same as the in store prices

just went in today after work.. They guys are really cool and laid back. The
tanks are only half way but they have a great selection of corals from flame anemones (not for sale) chalices and sps, and for fish from tangs to rhomboid wrasses and so on. I'm going to get a bright green nepthea, purple monster and waiting on a price quote for a ora mandrain and a chervon tang.

Went in there last week... been eyeing a blue jaw trigger and a powder blue tang. Ive heard that the powder tangs can be finicky eaters, so i was skeptical on the tang, they put a full sheet of nori in the tank the tang went right at it. The fish are both in my tank and doing extremely well. Great fish at great prices.

Cant say enough about the live stock they sell. Corals are building up, but they have very competitive prices on top notch corals. If you are in OC area worth the stop
