Los Angeles Corals
CoralFrags.com, the Ideal Place to Buy Corals in Los Angeles
There’s no shortage of really fine coral stores in Los Angeles and the surrounding suburbs just as there’s no shortage of decent LA coral stores and really mediocre places to buy corals in Los Angeles. The problem isn’t so much finding places to buy corals in Los Angeles, it’s the time, patience, and expense of getting to these stores and back home again. If you’re lucky, one of the best coral stores in SoCal is a short walk, drive, or bus ride away but most of us are not that lucky. Nor do we relish the prospect of dealing with LA traffic to make a pilgrimage to the coral retailers with the best reputations for selection, professionalism, customer service, and the types of coral frags and colonies that make our coral reef displays the envy of our friends and fellow hobbyists. Fortunately, there is a LA coral store near you that has an outstanding variety of SPS, LPS, and soft corals, a staff of professional coral aquarists, outstanding customer service and allows you to browse and buy coral frags online anytime you’d like. If you’re never bought coral frags online before, place an order with CoralFrags.com and give our coral store a try.
Who We Are
We’re west coast coralheads just like you and really love selling clean, healthy coral frags and colonies to discriminating buyers like you. We started off as hobbyists and quickly realized that caring for aquatic animals was what we wanted to do for the rest of our working lives. To properly prepare for this profession, we earned Aquarium Science degrees from the best program in the country. In addition to learning in the classroom and the AQS Program’s Teaching Aquarium, we also worked at the nearby Oregon Coast Aquarium and Hatfield Marine Science Center, a world-class marine science facility. After finishing these degrees, we expanded our knowledge and expertise even further by earning Aquaculture degrees from a major university and working in their commercial shellfish hatchery, caring for inverts, and culturing a wide range of foods to feed them. Then we started designing and building aquatic life support systems optimized for coral growth and health. No disrespect to your favorite LA coral retailers but you can’t find a Los Angeles coral store with a staff as experienced, knowledgeable, and dedicated to the craft as we are.
What You Can Expect From Us
- Quality Corals and Online Coral Frags – All our coral frags and colonies must pass through our rigorous quarantine protocols before they are moved to one of our propagation systems. After struggling with majano and aiptasia anemones, red bugs, flatworms, nudibranchs, and other coral pests as hobbyists, we implemented a zero-tolerance approach for our business and carefully examine each frag and colony multiple times to ensure that we keep these hitchhikers out of our systems and definitely out of our clients’ systems. All our corals are kept in systems with optimal water chemistry parameters, professional-grade lighting, and assiduous, proactive system maintenance. Healthy systems lead to healthy corals and coral frags, which then lead to very happy clients.
- Fast Shipping – We ship each order as quickly as practical without sacrificing the care and attention that each order deserves. Each frag and colony is carefully inspected one last time when it is picked for an order and is then packed with the utmost care to ensure that it arrives at your door happy, healthy, and ready to acclimate to your quarantine system. Even though we stand behind the cleanliness of our corals, we still strongly recommend that our clients quarantine all of their new fish and inverts to protect their systems and the other animals in their collection.
- Reliable and Continually Updated Information – One of the ways that we go above and beyond other coral stores in LA is the information that we make available on our site to help each client be successful and achieve the dazzling coral reef displays of their dreams. We regularly post new articles about coral health, lighting, water chemistry and how to achieve optimal parameters, coral feeding, life support components, and other facets of coral husbandry. Each article is written by one of the pros on our team and provides helpful information from a professional coralhead’s perspective. And these articles are available 24/7 when you’re insomnia surfing, riding on the bus, or watching TV. Not finding an article that you’d like to see on our site? Simply give us a shout and we’ll get right on it!
