Man I like the people who work here except for Friday and Saturday crew but the owner is an amazing guy and he would love to help with any questions or concerns you have.I wish they had more of a selection of fish🐠🐟But if you're looking for a specific item or fish (with a small deposit) they can get it for you and give you a call once they have its a good place

Great experience here, all staff was very friendly and professional. They went above and beyond to help me find my perfect wartskin frogfish. They texted me pictures from their distributor that they go to in person to choose from, and I couldn't be happier with my fish. Thank you so much Dave and Jean :D

This is the best place to buy fish and corals! The guy that runs it is just a great guy and really cares! I have been going here for a few years now!

Such an amazing place! I’ve been searching for a new store and I finally found it! David is very kind and knowledgeable. Prices are extremely fair. The store is clean and the staff is friendly. I love it here! Will never go anywhere else.

David is great, always willing to help and advise you as much as you need, I even call them when I have quick questions and they always help me!

The owner is very kind and knowledgeable. He tested my water for free and was more than happy to answer all the questions I had. When he learned that the water parameters in my tank weren’t right for new fish, he didn’t want to sell new fish to me. In my opinion, that shows that he’s in this for the love of the hobby, and not just out to make a quick buck off of newbie. I highly recommend coming to support this establishment. I’ll definitely be back!

Best fish store in town! I recommend them to any one that is in the saltwater tank hobby. They are super helpful, always more than willing to answer your questions. Their prices are fair and reasonable and livestock is always top quality. I really like that it’s more of a small local feel, rather than some of the larger fish stores in the area.

This guy is the man probably the nicest guy in this hobby I have ever encountered! Truly a stand up guy! New to salt water and he was more than happy to help me get started the right way!

Dustin in the retail owner and he is incredibly honest and easy to talk to about the hobby. I live pretty far but I highly recommend this store even if you have an hour plus drive time. You won't be disappointed!

Extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff, great selection, great prices. Passionate about the hobby and not going to sell you something just to sell you something. We make the drive from palm harbor to tampa for Corals and Fins because it’s so worth it. Would recommend to anyone no matter the experience/knowledge levels. 10/10

Customer Service was incredible, Prices are fantastic. Its refreshing to come across a buissness owner who not only cares about his employees and customers but the creatures in his care as well. Look forward to coming back again soon.

Visited a few times Pedro has went above and beyond helping me with my new upgrade. I had decided to go with a overflow to sump but, had no idea what I was doing he helped me through all of it. The Place is small but, has a lot that other stores don't have and cheaper prices than most definitely worth checking out!

Good prices, the ducks always welcome you and opens the door for you when you get there, the owner and Pedro are very nice too. however lady knife is bipolar and you never know when her moon is gonna switch. She is could be very friendly and helps you to get educated about the sea life, but thats only when she is on Good 🌙

Great place!!!! I come here first for all of my livestock. If they don't have what your looking for they can usually order it. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable and the prices are right on point!

I go here 1 to 2 times a week. Great info and prices every time. These guys really are awesome. Every weekend they have great sales like buy one get one on corals and discounts on fish. I could stare at their reef setup all day.

Wonderful experience, although I did not purchase anything I will definitely be coming back, staff is incredibly friendly and are keen to answer any questions you ask, extremely helpful, and they also appear to have great prices, if you are a beginner, paying them a visit is well worth it.

This store may have good prices but Pedro (the younger Spanish worker) is absolutely TERRIBLE. He sold me dead torches over $400 then got in my face and yelled at me when I asked about it. Absolutely unacceptable. I now see why people say “you get what you pay for”!

Dave the owner of Corals and Fins is one of the nicest and helpful people I have ever met. He has a great rotating selection of Saltwater and Fresh Fish, Invertebrates and Corals. Also, his Neptune Apex show tank highlights all of the fancy equipment nicely! Thanks Dave!

This is by far the best place to buy those special specimens you are looking for. Great inventory and you can always ask for a specific fish, coral and/or products and if he doesn't have on hand, he will find it for you. Since I found this place, haven't gone to others. The owner is AAA+ and has a lot of sales going on. Simply LOVE it (and more important, Wife too!!! )

Super friendly staff and threw in a couple freebies after already giving me a deal on a nice coral!! Great people great store! Nice selection and cheap prices!

Best way I can describe this shop is "Everyone has a favorite hole in the wall restaurant or sandwich place, it's not the most awe inspiring and the menu isn't big, but the prices and food are good and the people treat you well."Dustin who works there is very knowledgeable and honest. Used to have a fowlr tank and wanted to add corals. I brought some water from my tank to see if my tank was ready. And even though my parameters were close, he recommended I do a couple water changes before adding anything. Which made me feel really good and glad I didn't feel taken advantage of. A week later I bought my first corals and he's provided great customer service post sale. Will continue to shop here for a while!

We randomly found this store and glad we did. Both the gentleman and the lady working on Friday, May 29th were extremely friendly and helpful. We got a beautiful hammer coral which is very healthy and happy in its new home and a pair of seahorses. The seahorses are stunning and eating well. Only a day after purchasing the male seahorse gave birth to close to 1000 fry.We are now trying our hand at raising seahorses. This is a must visit aquarium store! We live in Riverview and plan to make regular trips to this awesome store.

I love this place mainly because of great management. Small shop that has items that the large shops did not have and for the lowest prices. I highly recommend buying supplies or live fish from coral and fins. Octopus 🐙 I bought from here is extremely health and adapting well to his new tank. Thank you!!
