They are fantastic! They help out every time I'm there and never try to push you into buying unnecessary stuff. Would highly recommend as well
 
How are their prices?
I think they have decent prices for quality live stock, there's a place closer to me that is cheaper, but I just keep driving lol.

CC is always willing to take in nice/quality corals for store credit which is great! The staff is very friendly and seem to focus on customer service, I always have 2-3 people ask me if I've been helped or have any questions. I wish it wasn't so far from me but that might be for the best ;)
 
CC is ok, but they've got the nastiest low par blue light over the coral tanks. Lots and lots of junk coral, and the good stuff is expensive. They run meds in the fish tanks which is good, and I've bought several fish from there. I still extensively QT though as there are usually either see a dead fish, or fish scratching in the tanks. There is a separate invert section, but I've seen fish in it so I continue to order from reef cleaners fishless operation to avoid bringing in fish parasites with clean up crew.
 
I live in Lutz About 30 minute from there! Nice place but I usually go to What is oyur tank in Lutz because its just down the street but a much smaller place! I have been looking for someone who will let me trade coral so I may be visiting them again! There is another place called Marine Warehouse I think. Its on Hillsborough ave about 5 minutes from there and then another one 5 mInutes from there!
 
Awesome place this is, i am happy that is over 20 minutes away from me if closer ill be there everyday with my kids.
