Awesome selection of corals at great prices. They delayed shipping on my order due to potential weather related delays. Which I really appreciate, because it showed they care about your order getting to you intact. The shorter these stay in their bags the more likely success will be when you put them in the tank. This fat head Dendrophyillia has been in the tank less than an hour and is already opened up. What a stunning color and for about half the price other coral shops are charging. Thank you Matt for clear communication and great service. I look forward to one day making the three hour drive to your shop to see it in person. Edit: the Duncan started opening up and the color looks great. Plus it’s a huge frag. It has 7 heads on it.

One of the best place in Texas to get quality colonies of coral. I’ve had some piece from them that has last years. Great customer service, any issues I had were solved and I’m a happy customer.

Service second to none. Matt and Jim are knowledgeable and helpfull. Coral selection is second to none. Went to Austin Texas to visit my son and secondly see Austin Aqua Farms. Outstanding!! Not a better place to buy coral and learn at the same time. Thank you both!!

Great experience. Bought locally and they were wonderful to work with, corals were happy and healthy and the color was stunning! Couldn’t be happier for the price! Would highly recommend you check them out as an alternative to the bigger better known coral farms. This is an unsolicited review, was happy with quality and service.

Austin aqua farms is by far the best place to buy live coral in the country. Im in Albuquerque New Mexico. Far from Austin Texas but I still received top the best customer service I've ever received from any online store. One day I hope to visit in person. The coral was shipped next day air came packed very well with extreme care. The coral came packaged with warming bags to keep the coral from getting cold. I got exactly what I saw on the website. The coral arrived healthy and in perfect condition. I will be buying all my coral from Austin aqua farms

Just got done ordering some corals with AAF. Have to say I will be doing more business with them. I had an issue with one of them not making the trip. Matt was super responsive and replaced the item with no major issues. Wonderful corals and wonderful service. I highly recommend!

The level of service and quality of coral I received is top notch. I was hesitant to order livestock online for a number of reasons but was willing to give it a try from this purveyor because it was highly recommended by BRS. Matt walked me through the whole process and relieved any concerns I had. The corals I received where exactly what was shown to me on the site. It was evident they where healthy and once acclimated started thriving. On top of all that the pricing and shipping charges are very reasonable. I'm hooked! Will order again without hesitation.

Was finally able to get to Austin and tour the shop! I will buy from Austin’s aqua Farms from now on. I have never seen cleaner, more pristine tanks. Do yourself a favor, shop here. Truly exceptional quality! I love that they include the frag rack squares in the pictures. This way you can see exactly what size the corals are.

Over the years, I have been coming back to buy corals from Austin Aqua Farms because of quite a few things: Austin Aqua Farms has a good supply of beautiful, unique corals (and the pictures online are true representation to the actual corals, not overly photoshopped, and they are reasonably priced with frequent sales); great work ethics (e.g. good customer service, excellent communication). Personally, I haven't yet received a dead on arrival coral from them. Keep up the good work! :)

Very glad I found Austin Aqua Farms. They offer very unique pieces at fair prices. I've been looking for a Gold Torch for monthhs and the price was right so I jumped on it. Shipping was immediate and the packaging was very sturdy. The coral arrived healthy and started opening immediately when I placed in my display tank. I will be doing business with Austin Aqua again in the near future! A++

Awesome little store! Probably the best selection and price for corals I have ever seen. I saw the biggest red carpet anenomes, stunning euphilias, and even some large pectinia! The tanks were all pristine, every piece was vibrant and healthy, and the staff were amazing. I'll be back for sure!

Great guys! Nice setup and no pressure sales guys. Went in for a Torch and gonipora and got the exact corals I found on the website. Both are in place and happy in the tank.

These guys are truly the best! This review is coming all the way from Syracuse, NY! Ordered online and was blown away! They have me 4 Duncan heads and reef roids as added bonus just because. Truly a real class act! Thank you Matt, you guys are the best!

Great selection and great customer service!More importantly the coral looked exactly how it looks in the picture. Didn’t have a single problem and will definitely do business again.

So I ordered zoa's from this company. Before I continue, a quick aside. Blue Zoo informed me that the industry today can't take time to contact individual customers when issues arise with their orders...Yeah I'm gonna take a swing at them in this review... Anyway apparently Austin Aqua Farms didn't get that memo and decided to contact me when there was an issue and then step up to the plate to make things right. The zoa's arrived and were larger then I expected compared to past purchases with other companies. They are all in place and I couldn't be happier. Hope this review makes other online shoppers feel a little safer working with you guys, thanks again for the great experience.

My favorite coral store in Austin. They have a huge selection, and the pictures of their frags they put on their website are spot on. Its all WYSIWYG. They are only open to public on Saturdays which works fine for me. You can buy online and then pick up in store.

Great customer service and awesome corals. I purchased a huge acan colony ,my second one from Austin Aqua Farms and a beautiful elegance coral. Returning customer .

Be careful, their pictures aren’t what they seem. They really should put something for size estimation up. Group order was done and we assumed the egg crate was 1”x1” that the photos are staged one. WRONG! It’s .5”x.5”. The “7in” colony of Acans I paid $150 for were actually the size of the palm and incredibly small (this was the case with other colony purchased and everything else BUT the Scoly a buddy purchased), especially small after being smushed into a small box (4 orders smashed I into a 6”x6” box) with everything else we ordered, in less that and inch or water. Not sure if the new guy packed the god photographer’s items, but for a $600+ order the heavily missed the mark with quality control.Most likely won’t be bring my money back here. FYI - the Acans look better after spending the night in my tank, just way undersized and stressed a little.Two stars retained because the corals are coming back to life.

Amazing experience for my first online purchase from El Paso, Tx! My Australian Ultra Interstellar made it on time and looks better than expected! Will definitely be an ongoing customer from here on, thank you guys!

Austin aqua farms has great customer service, they were able to handle a pretty unpleasant situation and still provide a good customer experience over all. The below response from austin aqua farms is untrue as it relates to a different customer with the same name. However, I am pleased to state that austin aqua farms has resolved this matter by issuing me a refund for the the corals that arrived dead.

Bought from them a few times, and I have been more than pleased with every order! Huge shout out to Matt, he helped me find exactly what I was looking for!

Awesome place to go for corals. They always have great stock and good prices. Don't walk in if not ready to spend some money lol. I always spend more there than planned

AAF always has beautiful corals for sale, never sick or infested. I have gotten hooked on Acans and these that Matt has are gorgeous. Next up for me will be Scolymia's!
