I think they are out of business.. . Drove all the way here because nothing on Unilocal (reviews) saying that they were out of business.

I went to the store today and it wasn’t even open, even though it was well in between store hours. I peered through the store window and even the main large tank right in front was ¼ of water. Doesn’t seem like a good fish store to go to. There was a sign that said will be back at 2:45pm today. Like others have written, it seems the owner opens whenever he feels like it. I’m not going to waste my time driving to this store anymore.

I’ve been going here for a couple years now, and I really like this shop. I keep a couple small reef tanks and like high end, premium fish and corals, and Aaron is a great guy to know. He’s super knowledgeable and helpful, and always has nice inventory. Highly recommended for service, quality and reasonable prices.
Quick Edit: Kent P should learn how to keep fish alive before he flames his local fish store. The fish in this shop have always seemed very healthy to me, and the ones I’ve purchased here have all lasted well over two years.

I just learned about this place even though it has been around for over 2 decades. It was just bought by a new guy within the past year I believe. The owner is friendly and helpful. He has a decent amount of fish, but has a lot of the more expensive bred fish. He has what seemed about 10 different breeds of clownfish alone. I did not buy any fish, but what I did buy was coral. He has a nice selection of coral and for cheap prices. I bought multiple frags for $ 5 a piece. Including a birds nest and some zoanthids. About a month and a half later and the zoanthids are sprouting more heads and the birds nest is sprouting new branches. I would recommend checking this place out.

Aaron is such a sweet guy and so helpful. He never tires of answering questions and he always makes sure to be attentive to everyone in the store, which is awesome.
Reason I like this place so much is that changes every time I go. You can tell they really care and put a lot of effort into improving and adding new stuff. Every time I’ve gone (going on like 4 – 5 times over the last 9 months) they have new stuff and freshly stocked tanks. They’ve just recently done an overhaul/​clean sweep of their big frag tanks and they look bright and healthy.
Also, great selection of unique/​designer zoas.

This place is under new ownership!
I have never been there when the old owners were there but this new guy is great. He’s just starting up so there’s not a lot of stock but he does have some cool fish. He knows what he is talking about so whenever I have questions I just ask him. Great store!

First time I got a flame angel and it didn’t survive. Few weeks later decided to give the store another shot and the yellow tang, dead within a few days.

It’s definitely a case of quality over quantity. I’ve been to several stores in Orange County and I always end up coming back here. The corals are beautiful and full of color, especially the SPS corals. They only have two frag tanks about 5 or six feet by 2 or 3 feet but they are full of great colored corals. If you like SPS corals it’s definitely worth a look.

Coral Island has a very limited selection of livestock. Prices are average at best. It’s a smaller fish store that has weird hours (as in its open whenever it feels like it. I’ve gone twice and found a will be right back sign posted). The only cool thing about the store is that they display a RTG arowana in the front. In comparison to the other fish stores nearby – Ocean Blue, New Wave, etc. you’d be better off going to the other stores.
