Excellent selection of corals. There are some really big pieces and most are pretty fairly priced. The fish selection is a little slim, but nice.

These people just bought this place,so they're still getting settled in,but the store has been there for year's! This is definitely a place to go for corals!! Beautiful pieces and a lot of very affordable pieces to choose from! U can find a nice selection of corals at $10,$20,$30,$40!! And they also have several hard to get pieces that u can drop half a paycheck on!! Give them a try

Went here for the first time instead of Reef-A-Palooza to buy some corals and payed less than I would have at the show and didn't have to pay an entrance fee. Nice corals and good prices. The owner is nice and helpful. Definitely going back even if it is a little far from me.

Always very friendly and helpful here. The tanks appear really nice and very clean! I like that they have digital water testing as I am cycling a new tank. I will definitely be stocking my tank here when the tank is ready.

What a great store and staff! As a new comer to the reef hobby I feel I can go into the Coral Connection and enjoy my shopping experience without the fear of being snubbed by the staff. They are very informative and willing to explain the different corals and their individual needs . The C Connection has tiny frags all the way up to jumbo sized corals that will fill any tank. Their fish and corals always look healthy and vibrant. The Coral connection has well priced coral and fish and a friendly staff. This is a must stop if you are in the market for reef supplies!

My go to place for corals and questions. I always get a good deal and enjoy the interactions with the friendly folks there. Nice variety of healthy corals, foods and all the trimmings.I appreciate the attention to detail. Whenever I buy frozen fish foods the owner wraps it up in cardboard to insulate it. That extra care means a great deal to me.

I have been dealing with Coral Connection four years for all our saltwater reef needs. The owners James and Ray are awesome! They are very knowledgeable, friendly and professional. James has personally taken care of our Aquarium and we couldn't be happier. Best selection of coral in Sarasota.

I've been working with CC for about 5 years. The owners, James and Ray, are about as helpful as it gets. Ray has been maintaining my tank for around 3 years now and I couldn't be happier. They have a great selection of livestock and dry goods. If you're a local reefer and you haven't checked them out, you need to!

Like going over to a friend's house, unbelievably clean and perfect display set ups. I was told it was worth the drive, and it was. Very fair pricing, and again the employees are very knowledgeable and patient. I'll be back. If you haven't, you should.

Great displays with beautiful corals and fish. I have been a loyal customer for years and Ray and James both are knowledgeable and informative. They both have helped me solve many issues with my aquarium and I would recommend them to my friends.

Unbelievable selection. Knowledgeable and willing to help getting my tank on track and staying that way. You will NOT find better prices or selection anywhere in Sarasota. They even have a 30 day quarantine in a 300 gallon display. Gorgeous fish. Highly recommend them.

Coral connection is by far the best saltwater fish store in the area. James also has a lot of nice corals and fish. Being a Waterbox dealer makes it even better. He helped me buy, set up a new waterbox 100.3 and to understand and create the coral reef tank I dreamed of.

Passive staff, didn't interact much. Fantastic selection of corals and other marine fauna. Tanks in great condition with huge variety of goods, from corals to anemones to invertebrates to fish. You can also buy aquarium supplies such as chemicals and coral food, as well as bulk live rock.

This was my first experience with honest owners that care about their customer's tanks. Their selection is amazing and they are open 7 days a week which is a huge plus! Prices are reasonable and you will not be disappointed with the quality.

I'm sure the store is great but haven't been there, just wanted to let you know when I clicked on your website link it took me to one of those "you're the 100th sign on" spam things & now my phone has a virus that's making my Google glitch. So you might want to look into that.
