About
Tucked in American Fork, Utah, Corals Coral and More has become a go-to destination for saltwater hobbyists across Utah County. Owner Nick Cook has built a shop that lives up to its delightfully redundant name — corals are the undeniable star here. The store stocks an impressive rotating selection of zoanthids, frags, and high-end coral specimens at prices that reviewers consistently call some of the best in the state.
Their regular $1 auctions and live sales events have developed a loyal following, offering deals that are hard to pass up for reef keepers looking to fill out their tanks. Beyond the coral racks, the shop carries a solid selection of saltwater fish, invertebrates, and one of the area's most extensive chemical and reef-keeping supply inventories. They've even developed their own coral dip product, streamlining what used to be a multi-step process into a single treatment — a detail that speaks to how hands-on the operation is.
A large-scale RO/saltwater purification system on-site means you can pick up purified water at competitive prices, and their loyalty program rewards frequent visitors. Out back, a few ponds house high-quality koi fish and tropical plants, adding an unexpected dimension to what is primarily a saltwater-focused shop. The display tanks throughout the store are reportedly stunning, showcasing what's possible with dedication and quality livestock.
Staff members like Justin are regularly praised for being approachable and genuinely helpful, happy to walk customers through coral care, tank chemistry, or livestock compatibility. Nick himself is clearly passionate about the hobby and has been steadily expanding — including a dedicated area for local hobbyists and small business owners to sell their own frags, fostering community around the reef-keeping scene. The physical space isn't the most polished retail environment, and the online ordering experience has drawn some legitimate complaints about shipping delays and communication gaps.
But for in-store shopping, the combination of healthy livestock, competitive pricing, and knowledgeable staff makes Corals Coral a worthwhile trip for anyone running a reef tank in northern Utah.

Customer reviews
“I love this place. They always have a huge variety of corals for great prices. The live sales in particular are the cheapest prices I’ve seen anywhere in Utah. Best of all though is the staff who are always willing to answer questions and help my tank thrive.”
— Nick Aller5.05 months ago“Ok”
— Алекс Шаман5.05 months ago“The owner, Nick Cook, was so helpful and informative!”
— Karen Keele5.0a year ago“I cannot say how they are as a store front but as an online store, they are terrible and basically close to being a scam! I had purchased some seedlings from their store using the Shop app back in August. After waiting two weeks with zero indication of a shipment, I had contacted them through their "contact us" emails inquiring if there was any additional steps I needed to do to receive my order (since they sell live creatures, they had modules to purchase but since mine were plants and I paid a shipment fee to ship plants perfectly fine, I didn't think I'd need to but wanted to ask anyways) to which, as of now, has been 4-5 times with zero response. They're very active on their social media accounts so I decided to try and contact them through there just to be completely ignored. Since I used Affirm to pay for my order (merchant must be the one to initiate the refund), Coralscoral's lack of response, and not wanting my credit to be negatively impacted, this store has officially stolen my hard earned money. Morally, I would recommend to not purchase from them at all!”
— Krystal G1.0a year ago“Super awesome place with great employees and vendors!”
— Eden Henderson5.0a year ago“Great selection and helpful staff.”
— Chris Holcomb5.0a year ago“I initially had a bad experience with a online auction here. I didn't receive my corals and demanded a refund for months. The response I got just was jabber to delay my refund. 2nd experience also did not go well!!! No communication...”
— Dylan Hart1.0a year ago“Best coral shop I’ve ever been to!”
— Hunter Turner5.02 years ago“I ordered the new lenses kit and it shipped same day I ordered it. Came with 2 tubes of super glue. Love corals coral.”
— Todd Ayers5.02 years ago“They are very helpful when I come in. And willing to answer all my questions. I wish I lived closer. Then again it's probably better that I don't 😬”
