I only came here when they were about to move and everything was closing down, but there were amazing prices for amazing corals. I cant wait to see it when it is fully open!

Waste of time. Went in 4 days ago saw a pair of clown fish for 60 come back to buy them and all of a sudden they were labeled wrong when he goes to pull them from the tank. Nobody says anything when you walk in or the entire time your there. Better off going the extra few miles to san jose shops.

California Reef helped me set my first fish tank. They have a sound knowledge about fresh water and salt water fish tanks, explained me the process step by step and gave right guidance throughout the process. Very honest and passionate in their opinions. Most importantly their saltwater fish collection is impressive, limited but unique freshwater fishes, turtles.

Best saltwater fish and coral store in the east bay.The 2 guys that own the place are friendly and helpful. Sometimes they are limited on selection of fish, but their corals look very healthy and are well priced. They keep their prices low by fragging things small but thats good for those with smaller tanks that want to grow their coral.

Great stock, good service...wish I could have caught the owner. Talking on the phone was good but not enough to answer all my newbie reef questions.

Being a hobbyist for 40 years and seeing many LFS open and close, California Reef Co. definitely rates in the top tier. Anthony is incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and carries stock of corals and fish which are rarely seen for sale (the Hall of Fame, Holy Grail, etc. of stock). I highly recommend visiting and more importantly SUPPORTING this business. We may not see another like it in the Bay Area.

Small store, but huge selection of corals. Everything looks nice and healthy. Smaller selection of fish that is hit or miss. Owners are friendly and very helpful. Clearly very knowledgeable about their trade. Good resource for your saltwater needs.

When I walked in the store it looked like it was in the middle of revovation or closing. The staff assured me it has been like that for a while. Did not give me the best confidence but I am always will to support a local store. The stores prices seem fair and the staff was nice but there corals are full of pests and aptaisa. I bought 4 corals and found aptaisa growing on all of them. It took a me quite a long time to clear them out. Be very careful what you buy from them.
