The store may be small in square footage, but its tanks are meticulously maintained and packed with an impressive variety of corals — torches, acans, hammers, duncans, and more — all kept in pristine condition. Multiple reviewers single out the torch corals as particularly spectacular, and the shop has built a reputation for sourcing rare corals for customers who are hunting for specific pieces. What makes Dave's Corals stand out in the reef community is the level of care that goes into every transaction. Staff members Enam and Derrian are known for their hands-on approach: they'll test your water parameters before selling you a coral, walk you through dosing and PAR levels, advise on placement, and even refuse to sell a piece if they spot any health concerns. One customer credits the shop with completely turning around their coral-keeping success after previous struggles. That kind of integrity — prioritizing livestock health over a quick sale — is rare in the hobby. Beyond corals, Dave's carries a solid and growing selection of saltwater fish and invertebrates, all sourced from top-rate suppliers. Reviewers consistently note that the livestock arrives healthy with minimal acclimation issues. The shop also stocks a curated lineup of reef-related products, focused on what reef keepers actually need rather than cluttering shelves with unnecessary inventory. Pricing is a recurring theme in the reviews — customers describe it as competitive, fair, and sometimes unbelievably good. Combined with genuine after-sale support and a willingness to educate newcomers to the saltwater hobby, Dave's Corals has quickly become a go-to destination for reef enthusiasts across the region. The shop's social media channels showcase their latest arrivals and are worth following for anyone building or maintaining a reef tank. ## Specializations - **Water Types**: Saltwater - **Livestock & Products**: Corals, Reef, Invertebrates, Rare Species - **Services**: Consultation, Water Testing - **Known For**: Knowledgeable Staff, Healthy Fish, Good Prices ## Highlights - Spectacular torch corals and diverse coral selection including acans, hammers, and duncans - Staff tests water parameters before selling corals and refuses to sell unhealthy specimens - Able to source rare corals for customers with specific requests - Competitive pricing consistently praised across reviews - Hands-on education covering dosing, PAR, placement, and reef-keeping fundamentals ## Customer Reviews **"Gerard Duquette"** - 5/5 - 2 months ago > Great resource for more discerning customers.
