Do not go to the barrier reef store for "Rare Coral" !!

they are nice people but the coral they have is crappy and generic MAYBE once in a while they have 2-3 rare/good pieces ... , I suggest going a little bit north to Blue Earth Aquariums they have a ton of Nice coral they only sell coral ! I live 1.3 miles from the barrier reef store btw..

there's also some amazing coral places more south in/towards Miami ! I hope that helps

Honestly there's a ton of coral shops with really nice pieces so many to name but don't go to barrier reef it's a waste of a drive .... but there lovely people who work there...

Again, there's a ton of shops down in Miami but definitely go check out Blue Earth Aquariums for corals you won't be disappointed!!!

List of Nice Coral Shops I Suggest giving a drive with rare nice high end pieces :

Blue Earth Aquariums
IFragIt Corals
Top Tier Coral
Ap Corals
Elite Marine Life

All 4 are must to stop by ! Please let me know where u go and what you purchased and your experiences !

Also this one shop near Miami was amazing I forgot the name If I remember I'll let you know...it was a very catchy name but I can't remember it !! :/

Oh in case you want some Super healthy and rare fish go to Elite Marine Life! They quarantine there fish for at least 3-4 weeks before sold they owner is a marine biologist he's the fish doctor around town he uses a microscope to cure fish, they also have nice coral!!! I got a lot of pieces from them actually

Yes I know! That is exactly what I'v heard they use to be the best !! They've changed, they dont quarantine there fish before being sold .... A lot of bad rep lately selling sick fish...

Too bad I missed your original post. I was down there over Thanksgiving and went to 20+ stores. Blue Seas was hands down the best I went to. A lot of places were cleaned out due to Black Friday sales but Blue Seas was the cleanest store too. Very nice stuff. I brought 10 ricordea back to Seattle with me.
