Pros: Cheap Inverts and Fish and sometimes good prices on corals.
- $10 Flatworm Nudies (can't remember the name)
- $10 Seahares (Great for algaes)
- $5 Large Chocolate Star (great for harlequin shrimp keepers)
- Cheap cleaner, pistol, peppermint shrimps and good price on hermit crabs and snails.
- Cheap anemones, way bellow AW, OG, PK and the other stores around carlsbad and Vista
- Great Customer Service from the fellas that work there, the owner is preety cool too.
- Fish prices are really good, where can you get a lyretail anthias for $10.98 for female and $15 for males

Cons:
- Small Coral Collection, sometimes you would get lucky and score some realy good deals when their shipment comes in on thursdays.
- Equipments are priced high but a few are cheaper than other fish stores

been there about 3 times. cheap shrimps and cleaners. bought about 50 naserius snails for only 20 something dollers. alright seletion on fish. come corals are really cheap. not really worth going there if you live 30 min. away.

[Nanoreefbro]

They have the cheapest Chocolate Chip Starfish in San Diego.. $2.98 :top: But the selection is very limited...

 

[ZoaJosh]

As others have said, the place has some good deals, but a limited selection when it comes to saltwater fish and corals.

I live less then a mile and go every thurs , also get my salt there
all the guys that work there are all cool and know alot they've been there for like 15 years. Although it's hit and miss sometimes I've picked up nice pieces and fish there for cheap , 100+ zoo polops for 20.00 that colony is huge now
bright pink on pink , with lime green w/ pink skirts very nice
