Reef Keepers in Clayton has some really good stock. All is very healthy and well cared for. Prices are higher than most in area, but for the quality it is completely worth it. I get my RO/DI water from them exclusively and my tank flourishes. The Petco on capital Blvd has really good prices but only frags here and there, only one in the area that deals with saltwater. The staff cares about the tanks so they have some decent care. Fish Room in Cary has a decent selection, but i have heard that their water is high in copper. The fish room across from the petco is to be avoided due to water quality.

PetCo in chapel Hill (New Store) went in it several months ago, tanks/selection looked nice
Triad Reef Critters (Greensboro) always lots to choose from
The Reef Farm,, Greenhouse type coral farm, odd hours, check website

I second reef keepers. I got my stuff from the fish room originally. Not a bad place but the guys at reef keepers are awesome and helped me a ton
