Hidden gem! Don’t go off first looks. The owner is kind and won’t sell you a sea creature if it doesn’t look ok. He has great prices and is honest.

Very well stocked. Great place to go for your reef tank needs.

I do not recommend this fish store if you are a beginner. The owner was not friendly and understanding that my girlfriend and I were beginners. The tone he used was not friendly either. Maybe if you have had plenty of experience with a tank it could be a spot. I also felt that the store was disorganized and messy. I would have appreciated if he was more understanding.

The best place Rhode island to find salt water fish and anything else ....

John is a great guy will answer any questions. This store has a quality slection of gear and dry goods, mainly salt water focused store, has started going south, lack of help and over priced stock on corals, he gets them mostly from overseas. I prefer aquaculture coral less problems in the long run. But over all good place to find some of the harder to find fish at an acceptable price. Tho I havent purchased any live stock from John besides a few zoas, only one survived in my tank as I keep my tank at 11dkh, these corals I didnt know when I got them were live from the ocean. Makes adaptation much harder on corals going from ocean to tank to tank.I get all my emergency RO from John. Fair price on water.

Visited for the first time today. Its so close to home, I was hoping it might end up being my go to place! The products they carry are great and its a nice selection. Beautiful dragonstone and other decor as well. I know nothing about salt water, but they seem to have a good selection. Amazing starfish! There were a few little containers that had animals in them. About water cooler size cups. I cant really say one way or another if I think thats appropriate as I dont do salt water, but the eel was very cramped in his cup and it made me uncomfortable.The freshwater selection, our reason for going there, was really lacking. Which is fine if its mostly a salty store, but the fresh fish they did have had clamped find, muted colors and a good amount were dead. Dead for a while, like fuzzy and stuck to filters.I love my fish at home they mean a lot to us. It was saddening to see so many that were noticeably not doing okay. The owner, I think, greeted us kindly as we looked around. Im sure that they are doing their very best, but unfortunately, it just isnt the right store for us.

Personal opinion. prices are cheap BUT.... the conditions that some of the livestock are kept in are the worst ive seen. I understand necessary cleaning/restocking days and that aquariums in general are messy, but of all the regional stores this is at the bottom. MUCH better options within an hour

Owners very helpful and knowledgeable been many time and will return.

So glad too see this place is still there. Me and my dad started this hobby 20 years ago when I was in high school. I can’t believe people told me this place closed down. It’s still where it was in 1999, the last time I was there. LFS is a cutthroat business around RI, but I really liked this store and John in particular. Look forward to seeing how his store has evolved with the industry...

We are new to the area and our house came with a built in aquarium, and we literally know nothing about saltwater tanks, but John has guided us and been extremely helpful with all our needs. It’s a cool shop and we’re lucky to have it so close by!

John (owner) very knowledgeable. No frills kind of place for the true aquarium enthusiast!

Cool place. Owner was super helpful and nice. Answered all my sons questions and concerns.

Lots of different types of coral!Very cool shop but the staff seemed a bit snooty to beginners.

Great attention... they will help you with whatever you need...

When you get past the fact that hes runs his shop solo, john is like the most knowledgeable guy you can meet, best prices around on literally everything you need too,

Absolutely love this shop the owner is absolutely incredible when it comes to knowledge and his prices are hard to beat. Also he is one of the people I can go to if I have questions about my tank issues highly recommend.

John awesoms really good guy

.Knowledgeable and friendly owner. Good products. My favorite LFS.

Someone told me about this place, how awesome it is, and I am so grateful.Super nice owner, very knowledgeable, honest, and always ready to help.If he doesnt have what youre looking for, he will order it.I go there all the time now. Love the place!I got some happy fish in my tank from this guy :)

The owner John is a very honest and kind person. The animals he has there are in great health and the selection is really nice compared to other stores Ive been to. I bought a new african clawed frog not too long ago and am going to continue to return to this nice pet store. Highly recommend it if you havent been here yet. The prices are extremely affordable. Best pet store because they still carry african clawed frogs.

One of the most friendly places I have ever been too. If you love aquariums or fish in general come here. Between the owner and his customers they will help you with anything you need!

The owner has been in business for over 2 decades and is extremely knowledgeable. There is always an excellent selection of fish and coral but be sure to go on Thursdays this is fish/coral delivery day and there will be a lot to choose from. The prices at Sea Creature are by far the best not only in the state but also the best in the region, no joke! I highly recommend Sea Creature.

John is very knowledgeable. Great service and prices.

John is a great guy, quirky but great. he has helped me out more times than i could count. great prices great selection. Be fore warned, Thursdays are VERY busy.

Hands down the best place in Rhode IslandFor all your aquarium needs!

Amazing place, animals look in amazing health, very helpful.

John is extremely busy there ya takes some time to get stuff but he has phones ringing people asking questions people paying. Ya he could hire help but then prices start to go up. I started in 2003 found his shop bought all my stuff from him. Left hobby 13 years to go back to johns place. He wont sell u the higest ticked skimmer in his store he sells u the best performance and best priced skimmer. Will always be back

Small place but worth it. We will definitely go back again.

Knows his stuff, although he is usually to busy to help answer your questions. The aquariums appearance has improved since I started going as well. Some negatives are fish left dead in tanks, not very assertive to help customers and wont test your water for you. Pros are his prices are good, verity of fish is nice, and if you get lucky enough to talk with the owner he isnt a bad guy although his first impressions are not the best.

Terrible, I would never go back. Customer service is non existent!

Always a great experience....kids love to go

Dude that runs it is actually helpful, he knows all his species and products. Even when place was packed he makes time to answer questions from my younger son who always comes with me to shop. Great prices and good quality corals . Only dislike is that he opens kind of late

Awesome store. Great selection and owner is honest and great customer service. My home shop

If your looking for reasonable saltwater fish this is the place to go especially Thursday night close at 10pm the Coral section needs a little bit of tlc on appearance.

I was just there to look at some fish and ended up buying 4 at the best price around and owner is very helpful...my new favorite place...cheers...

A great local suppier of everything aquatic...If he doesnt have it he will order it for u... im preetty sure at cost.... marine/coral/ pond stuff everthing u need and free advise...

We purchase 5 koi 1 month ago. All dead never came out after we put in pond. We have had a pond for over 15 years. No predictors and the water is perfect. He had just gotten them the day we purchased. We are out $80 dollars

Great place, John is very knowledgeable and helpful. Plenty of stock on everything.

This guy knows his stuff, takes the time to answers your questions, will not sell you something you dont need, very nice shop

John is the best. Awesome selection and good prices.

John is a great guy to deal with . Just go in and relax enjoy the fish and coral then get what you want.

John is the best, great place for advice and supplies. great selection of fish and corals as well
