Corals Coral and More

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.
