Aquatic Dreams & Funky Monkey Coral

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.
