Hi!

Newly back in the hobby. I’m in Old Bridge area, Middlesex county. I have a couple shops I go to but looking for everyone’s favorite stores for fish and coral (even online favorites). I’m willing to drive a for a store that’s worth it!

Thanks,
Jen

Hi Jen

While we don't deal much with fish we are always stocked up on corals. On average we'll bring in 5-600 new corals every week. Feel free to shoot me a message if you'd like to stop by. We are right over in Jackson. About 15 minutes from Great Adventure and the outlets.


Thanks
Mark S.

I made it there for the first time four weeks ago. I was looking for a Ritteri (after ripping out all my RBTAs), and my bot suggested I try them. I emailed, and got a big list of the RBTAs they had. I told them again I was looking for a Ritteri. The next day they emailed me saying they had gotten one in. I went down and quickly bought it for $129.

FWIW, I think it is referred to as a "Short Tentacle Sri Lankan Ritteri". The only ones I've ever seen before were bleached white. Mine is pinkish tan, and my clowns love it.

Thank you Aquaridise!
