Don't think it was me, but they have a ton of stuff in the 2 big display tanks. Most of that stuff is for sale.

No offense, but Atlantis is not known for their clean up crews and fish. For the coral collectors it is the best place around.

it might not be the biggest but when it comes to coral it is the best


all about fish is huge, but they're selection is crap, and they charge outrageous prices for anything decent

They got the best rare collection of corals. Lots of the LE that you see at reeffarmers.com came from them.

you are correct, I watched the corals but didn't look at the price at all, coz my tank is not ready for a good coral. I was just disappointed at the store size comparing with all about fish.

gfk, my wife bought me $100 gift card from all about fish. I really really want to cash it and buy stuff from online dealer! or local hobbists.

I second that. You won't find another store that even comes close to having as many sps.

Oh, and if you want a clean up crew, i'd suggest going to dolphin

Since I am a little further away, I have to make it worth my while. The horrida I got that day is bright green. How is that vanuatu piece working out for you?

It's doing very well, encrusting quickly. It looks very much like my big ol' austera. We'll see when it grows out a little more, I'll give you a piece of mine and we'll see how similar.
