This is a nice shop, and the guy that was working was super cool. They have a lot of nice big acro colonies, but they were a little on the pricey side. Also, when a single coral cost $300 they should know the name of it. Names do matter when it comes to resale value down the road.

Every time we go in Matts Corals theres a wonderful employee named Seth that takes great care of us! The place is always clean and well lit. The frags are good quality for the price!! (And priced way better than other places in the area!)

This is a terrible place to order online!!! First i received a damaged clam, it happens. . This was made up with 3 acros, 2 of which also died... I know what im doing and have over 350 acros and have never had this issue with anybody else out of over 100 orders.... The website has listings that arent available and when brought to owners attention, who didnt bother to get back to me about it, a month later its still for sale.... i called the store and the item was in fact sold over a month ago but still being offered.... Hopefully this shop is better in person but beware of ordering online!!!

I went into Matts store a year ago with no knowledge of fish and had a reef tank going that same day. Matt made it easy to enjoy the ocean in my home and has answered all my questions. Its like living art and I love my fish like pets. Great store with great fish and coral!

Amazing fish store with a good selection and a great knowledgeable staff! The fish are reasonably priced! The I got arthon puffer was huge! And in a great condition! Eating very well and wasn’t acting weird at all as soon as I introduced him to his new tank!

I cant thank Matt enough for his advice and guidance. I bought my tank used from a less than ideal situation and Matt has been there from day one to ensure my system was running the way it should and all my fish are happy and healthy. His shop is incredible and his service and professionalism cant be beat. Highly recommended!

Pretty awesome lfs. I picked up a couple frags for Black Friday and got a copperband butterfly. The frags look great and the copperband is fat and already eating frozen! This is my new go to store!

The coral selection is amazing and they all look fantastic. I decided to grab a few emerald crabs and a pincushion urchin, they are all doing well! Its a smaller store but it helps ensure the quality is top notch.

This is an awesome shop. I drive all the way from Cleveland down to here to get my coral. He has awesome quality livestock, with lots of colonies and frags at great prices. I am pretty picky about where I buy my corals, and this is one of few places I will buy livestock from. Matt is also a great guy that knows a vast amount of knowledge about the hobby as well.

Went by this past weekend. Wonderful shop. Wish I lived closer. They had a great selection of corals that were well taken care of and at great prices. Not too many fish on hand, but the ones that were there were in good shape. Very clean, well run store. Once my tank matures, Ill definitely be going back for some corals... especially the rock nems and bubble tips.

The absolute cleanest fish/coral store I have ever been in. Tanks were imaculate. Nicely set up. Stock was a little light but they just had a big sale. Prices seem to be reasonable. Will be back.

Weve been going to Matts recently because he did so well on my mothers aquarium. All the fish and coral do so well. Its not the biggest selection because its just him and a couple employees, but its all the right and interesting fish/coral anyway. Let him set up your next aquarium. He knows everything and is great at his job.

Great little saltwater shop. The two ladies were a joy to talk to while I was browsing and they defiantly knew their stuff. The prices are the the absolute best you will find on corals and fish. Thier water is super clean, even tested it myself when I got home. Will be returning !!

Small shop with really engaged people working there. Not like other places (aquarium adventure) where you have to wait and wait just to get some help. I found the prices on their fish and corals to be fair with monthly sales also if youre looking for something expensive. While the footprint of the store is small, I found that they utilized the space really well. They spent extra time on the aesthetics of the store by going as far as putting up trim moulding to make it look clean and sharp. Very impressed.

I only rated one star, because I could not rate less. This guy deserves-10 stars. I had put over $5,000 in to my tank and paid Matt to setup my tank and do water changes every two weeks. The first month was ok by month 6 Matt did a water change and introduced ick into my tank and killed all my fish but one and then tried to sell me more instead of replacing them. I read online that as long as you take all the fish out of your tank for 6 weeks ick will die out of your tank. I didn’t need Matt for that six week period, I took my water weekly to Rivers to Reefs to get it tested and they even showehow to test my self,and my water conditions were perfect. My coral was thriving beautiful. I was a loyal customer to Matt and it was about time for a water change and I called Matt he came to my house looking high and changed my water and left everything dead. When I called him about it he said he could have been that my nitrates were to high, but when I told him I had the water tested just days before and the water conditions were perfect he said he may have put in fresh water but he was not going to replace any coral or any fish and if I want to get my money back I should I have my lawyer call him. I’m in the process of taking him to court now but the guy is a real loser, buying fish or coral from him or having him do you water changes is VERY HIGH RISK proceed with
