Prestige Worldwide Corals

Tucked away in an unassuming Oklahoma City storefront, Prestige Worldwide Corals has built a reputation as the premier saltwater destination in the state — and the kind of place people drive across state lines to visit. The shop specializes in corals, many of which are grown in-house, producing vibrant, healthy frags that reviewers consistently describe in awestruck terms. Walk in and the color hits you immediately: racks of corals glowing under carefully tuned lighting, display tanks that could pass for gallery installations, and livestock that looks genuinely thriving.

The selection goes well beyond coral. Customers mention picking up clownfish (including custom-bred varieties), blue tangs, filefish, cleanup crews with shrimp and crabs, and anemones. A basket starfish even caught one visitor's eye.

The dry goods section is substantial — rock, equipment, and supplies fill out the inventory so that reef keepers can handle full tank builds in a single trip. One reviewer described loading up a large cart with dry rock that staff weighed out for them, highlighting the hands-on, practical shopping experience. Staff members like Brad earn consistent praise for patience and deep saltwater knowledge.

Multiple newcomers to the hobby report spending extended time getting walked through setup basics, livestock compatibility, and water chemistry without feeling pressured to buy. The owner has been known to stay past closing to help a customer finish a purchase. That said, the shop can get busy — a couple of reviewers noted longer waits during peak times when staff were stretched thin.

Pricing draws mostly positive reactions, with many calling it competitive for the OKC metro, though a few note that specialty items like premium dry rock can carry a premium. The tanks are consistently described as clean and well-maintained, and pest-free livestock is a point of pride — though at least one buyer reported an issue with hitchhikers on chaetomorpha. For anyone running a reef tank in Oklahoma or the surrounding region, Prestige Worldwide Corals is the definitive stop.

The coral selection alone justifies the visit, and the knowledgeable staff make it worth staying.
