Walk into TSM Aquatics in Pennsauken Township, New Jersey, and the first thing you'll notice is how clean and organized the facility is. The second thing you'll notice is the sheer volume of coral — row after row of vibrant frags and colonies, from beginner-friendly zoas to high-end pieces that make seasoned reef keepers pull out their wallets. This is a saltwater-focused shop that has earned a devoted following across South Jersey and well beyond, with customers happily driving 40 minutes or more — and others ordering fish shipped as far as Orlando.
What sets TSM apart is their rigorous 30-day quarantine process for fish. Customers report purchasing Kole tangs, copperband butterflies, sailfin tangs, tri-color anthias, and flasher wrasses that arrive eating immediately and free of parasites. Multiple reviewers who've bought six or more fish over several years say they've never experienced a disease outbreak traceable to TSM livestock.
The fish even arrive conditioned to human presence, bold and unafraid from day one. The coral selection is enormous and competitively priced. TSM runs live auctions on Thursdays and Sundays that have become a community event, giving hobbyists access to diverse species at approachable price points.
Reviewers frequently mention receiving larger frags than advertised — sometimes triple the polyps on premium pieces. They also stock live rock, invertebrates, anemones, and offer ICP water testing on-site. Staff members Rob and Josh are consistently singled out by name.
They'll spend real time walking customers through coral care levels, lighting needs, and feeding schedules. One reviewer described Rob patiently going over dozens of corals with his daughter, explaining each one's specific requirements. For new reef keepers setting up their first 90-gallon or nano reef, this kind of hands-on guidance is invaluable.
TSM also ships fish with meticulous packaging — insulated bags with heat packs that maintained 81°F water temperature even during a Florida cold snap in the 30s. That attention to detail runs through everything they do.

Awesome place for fish and coral. The people working there are super helpful and take the time to educate. Have worked with them to buy quarantined fish (have bought 3 from them without any issues) and have bought corals from them through the auctions they run on Thursdays and Sundays. all corals have been super healthy and most times they end up giving me larger frags than advertised. One time they even gave me almost triple the advertised polyps on a high end coral. Couldn’t recommend them enough

I’ve bought six fish from TSM and every time it’s a great experience. The fish are packaged extremely well with insulation and heat packs. On my latest shipment it was in the 30s in Orlando the morning of delivery, which is not common in Florida. But TSM properly packed them for the weather. I took the temp inside the insulated bag when I opened it and it was 81 degrees in the bag. Also the fish come in a great health, free of disease and eating great. I’ve had some of the fish eat within minutes of coming out of the bag. They also must spend time getting the fish comfortable with humans because all of my TSM fish are bold and don’t hide when I’m near or working in the tank. Just a great experience every time and I will keep returning for more fish.

TSM Aquatics is an outstanding local fish store. I was really impressed with their 30-day quarantine process for fish—it shows how much they care about the health and quality of what they sell. The corals were beautiful and clearly well cared for, with great selection and vibrant color. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience enjoyable. And to top it off, they even gave me a free donut! Highly recommend TSM Aquatics to anyone in the hobby!
