My gf and I were looking to get back into saltwater reef keeping after not having done it for years, and decided to see which shops in the area had what. We did a quick google search while in Melbourne, and this place was first on the list, and we're so happy about that after our experience.Shawn (Sean?) was extremely helpful, polite, and knowledgeable, answering our many questions with a kind patience that most would find challenging at the receiving end of our firehose of queries. Having been out of the hobby for so long, he helped us get up to speed with what has changed, and guided us in the right direction for what we were looking for. We came in basically without a clue, and left informed how to proceed with a new setup.Fast forward to today, and I went back to get everything for the new tank. Shawn once again was polite and helpful, and I was able to get everything we needed for our new tank, confident that we were making the right decisions in a hobby with a thousand opinions, thanks again to his patience with yet more questions.The corals they have in stock look amazing, and they have a ton of specimens to choose from - from the cheaper 'beginner' corals to the more expensive advanced offerings. I was particularly impressed with how healthy everything looked. I can't wait until our new tank is cycled so we can come back and get to stocking it with all of the beautiful species to pick from.Thanks again, we'll be making the trip again for sure!

I won a gift card during a giveaway they did on IG. They were more than patient with me and were super helpful about updates of their inventory, even when the website was down. Once I finally pulled the trigger and ordered, my shipment came the very next day with a little surprise! I ordered a pink passion Goni and metallic candy cane, and they threw in an extra Goni for free! Everything was super healthy and started opening up immediately. Looking forward to ordering again in the future!

Keep an eye out on this place! The owner Shawn used to have one of the best saltwater stores in Indialantic.For some good reason he decided to get back into the Saltwater game...and let me tell you.. we are all glad he did!The best selection of custom high end zoas, hammers, torches, scolys etc...and YOU CAN NOT BEAT THE PRICING!!.The best part is they are only just getting started. If you have a reef tank...do yourself a favor and visit Little Reef.Great Selection, Great Customer Service and you will not be disappointed!They have plenty of room to grow also.Whether you live on the Space Coast or further north or south...pleae trust me...you will love Little Reef!!!Shawn and his team are very knowledgeable and will not steer you wrong!

It's one of the best little reef shops I've been to in a long time. Shawn is the real deal, and he actually takes the time to educate you and not just sell you something that'll get destroyed in your tank. And to boot, this guy makes the best frozen fish food! Fresh, no smell, and it will not contaminate your tank. I highly recommend it! From a 15-year REEFER.

Very clean facility. Tanks are well maintained. Stunning corals. The owner has years of experience working with corals, which leads to being very knowledgeable and professional when it comes to questions. We purchased a beautiful pot o gold hammer. I'm definitely coming back.

Visited here for the first time when they had their initial opening and purchased a torch and a zoa. Since then, I’ve went back and purchased another zoa and multiple ricordeas. Each of these corals have been thriving!Additionally, the customer service has been outstanding! They are very interested in helping you find what you want, and what best accommodates your goals. They’re nice to talk to as well, they don’t try and push sales at all, just chat about aquaculture.Overall, it is a very nice setup they have and it is a very cool experience. I couldn’t recommend them more, and look forward to coming back.

I had a fantastic experience at the store! The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about their products and answered any questions I had. The corals were not only stunning but also very healthy. They had a wide variety of corals to choose from, I will definitely be coming back again. I left with a beautiful addition to my reef, and it's thriving in my tank.

I love this shop. Talk about a little gem hidden away in the every growing industry! You can’t beat the quality of the corals and the price. They have a customer for life in me. Keep doing what you’re doing because it’s working and I’m thankful for it. Can’t be happier with my experience in store and with my beautiful corals.

I've been in the aquarium industry for 10 years, and a hobbyist for years. It is very evident the owners don't treat this as just a job but their passion. Their attention to detail and personal friendliness, results in beautiful, vibrant, and most importantly healthy corals. If they are delivering this great of a product, I cannot wait to see how their company grows and what they can bring to the hobby/industry.

This is my favorite saltwater aquarium store in all of Florida. The people are very friendly and knowledgeable about how to make a great saltwater aquarium and what would be best for your reef tank at home.

The store is in a workshop/ storage unit? There was a doorbell to ring when you walk up to the door. Was put off by this and my fiancé wanted to look elsewhere. 3 stars because I won't knock it without trying it, but have to take off something for looking more like a mechanic shop. Maybe advertise this so people know what to expect before they get there.

My favorite corals shop out the 3 here in town. Shawn and Bridget (I think that is her name, the office manger) are always great when I come in. Super Friendly people, great prices, always answering my questions, and I can not wait to watch them grow over the years....

We have been here a few times already. Every time the service is excellent. They are always getting new corals coming in. I’ve bought 3 torches, 4 different types of gonies ,ocpospawn, wall hammer, splatter hammer, tracky, scoly and waiting for a war paint meat coral to come in. They quarantine the coral before they are sold. They have the best prices of any store that I have been to, and they take care of the core and take the time to make sure that the corals are healthy and pest free before being sold . Literally my new favorite corals store. Will definitely be back soon.
