About
Aquatic Dreams & Funky Monkey Coral in Clearfield, Utah has built a devoted following among saltwater hobbyists across northern Utah, drawing regulars from as far as Willard and everywhere between Logan and Provo. This is a dedicated saltwater reef shop — no freshwater, no plants — and that singular focus shows in every detail. The store's coral selection is a standout, spanning zoas to SPS with plenty of named acropora pieces that will catch the eye of serious stick collectors.
Their livestock tanks are consistently described as immaculate, and the shop itself has an almost showroom quality — one reviewer said walking in feels like a red carpet experience. Beyond corals, they carry a strong variety of saltwater fish, invertebrates, cleanup crew animals, and the equipment needed to run a reef system properly. One of the more thoughtful touches is their live rock system: rock starts dry and is cycled in a separate setup before being sold, minimizing the risk of introducing pests into customers' tanks.
It's a small detail that speaks to how seriously they take livestock health, and multiple reviewers note that fish purchased here consistently survive — a claim not every LFS can make. Jordan's name comes up again and again in reviews. He's praised for his honesty, patience, and deep knowledge, whether he's helping someone set up their very first saltwater tank or troubleshooting chemistry issues for a veteran reefer.
Several customers credit him specifically with guiding them through the early stages of the hobby, and his willingness to spend time with curious kids earns extra points from families. The shop also offers custom tank builds and maintenance services, though at least one reviewer reported a communication breakdown on a custom order. Hours have shifted as well — the current opening time is 3 PM, not what Google may display.
For saltwater enthusiasts in the Clearfield area and beyond, Aquatic Dreams delivers a clean, well-curated reef shop experience backed by genuinely invested staff.

— Mitch Pautz4.0Edited a month ago“Very top notch. When you walk in, it kind of feels like a red carpet. Let Jordan help you. He won't lie to you, just to get you to buy products.”
— Jason Reese5.02 months ago“Google lied. They are not open at 1. New open time is 3pm. Thanks for the hour drive”
— James James5.04 months ago“I will not be buying anything from this place ever again. I bought a dwarf lionfish from here and they assured me that it was eating frozen food before I left. Come to find out they lied to me. I even went back and talked with one of the staff members, and all they told me was "that's weird". My nefew had a similar experience with this place with a fish that he had them order. Won't be going back and definitely won't recommend to anyone! if you need a recommendation there are 2 other LFS ten minutes away.(OCD and Rustys Reef)”
— Mitchus Maximus2.0Edited 5 months ago“They are super clean and it's a nice store but they only have salt water aquarium supplies, no freshwater fish or plants. Wish they did. I have to drive all the way to bountiful to get my supplies.”
— Hillary Smith4.05 months ago“Awesome selection and always clean. Their selection is great!”
— craig sam5.07 months ago“I have been to lots of saltwater fish stores, and this is definitely one of the best. Knowledgeable staff, high quality equipment, and nice display tanks. They take care of their livestock, and their live rock starts dry then is kept in a separate system once cycled so you don’t buy rock with a ton of pests. I am a big acro fan and they have a ton of nice names pieces. Highly recommend!”
— Jeremy Whiting5.07 months ago“Jordan has been the biggest help for us with starting up two different tanks. He's always so friendly and professional! And he doesn't get irritated when my inquisitive son asks a million questions! Not only do they have a great selection, but their customer service truly is unmatched!”
— Amber Russell5.07 months ago“We love the store and the staff! Very knowledgeable and helpful!”
