About
Walk into Lush Corals in Boynton Beach and the first thing you notice is how immaculate everything is — spotless tanks, vibrant colors, and a layout that reviewers compare to World Wide Corals in Orlando. This is a saltwater-dedicated store that has quickly become the reef destination Palm Beach County has been waiting for, drawing hobbyists who drive an hour or more just to browse the selection. Owner Susan runs the operation with meticulous care, growing many of the corals herself on-site.
The range is impressive: beginner-friendly frags alongside high-end show pieces, with strong offerings in LPS, SPS, chalice corals, cynarina, and plate corals. The fish selection draws equal praise — customers have picked up Desjardini sailfin tangs and species they'd been hunting for months. A marine biologist on staff adds a layer of expertise that's rare for a local fish store.
Beyond livestock, Lush Corals stocks a full wall of equipment, dry goods, foods, supplements, and additives. The store also handles serious custom tank installations — one reviewer described a full Apex-automated system with automatic water changes plumbed from the display to a saltwater mixing station in the garage. That kind of turnkey setup work, combined with water testing services and quarantine protocols that customers specifically call out, sets Lush apart from shops that simply sell and send you home.
For those who can't visit in person, Lush Corals ships livestock — multiple out-of-town visitors mention ordering later after snapping photos during a vacation stop. Staff members Aaron and Andrew, alongside Susan, consistently earn praise for patience and genuine enthusiasm, whether helping someone cycle their first tank near closing time or walking a newcomer through dirty-tank recovery. With fair pricing on farm-grown corals and a disease-free display that customers note has zero ich, Lush Corals has filled a void in South Florida's reef community that hobbyists say had existed for decades.

— Landon Goldman5.03 weeks ago“This is the nicest tropical fish store been to in my 15 years in South Florida. I’ve never seen such an incredible selection of vibrant corals and beautiful fish. This is a great asset to the reef community in Palm Beach County and beyond.”
— Tim Brohawn5.04 weeks ago“One of the most beautiful saltwater dedicated stores in the country. The owner, Susan, is extremely passionate meticulous, attentive, personable, and professional. The store takes quarantine, care, and overall quality to the next level. If you’re just visiting the area like I was, this should be your first stop over any others. If you’re able, pick something up on your way out; however, if you’re too far away, they offer an excellent shipping program. Take notes, snap some photos, and reach back out later to add to your collection.”
