The best one here is called Sea in the City. Go to www.seainthecity.com for directions. It is small but they have a great selection.

If your taking US 27 or the Turnpike try and make a stop at Leesburg Pet Center they have a good stock. Right off US 27 east side in Bealls shopping center.

City in the sea is good if you want some really nice frags but if you're here to buy fish or larger colonies then stop by ocean blue.

Ocean Blue is by far the best for everything.

I would not recommend leesburg. They barely have any corals and most of them are all soft.

I would go straight to Orlando imo.

A few I go to for corals

Sea in the City
The Fishbowl
Seven Seas
Oceanblue - haven't been in awhile.

Too bad you didn't post this earlier. Many reefers also frag out to locals fairly cheap too.

Never been there or heard of it myself Ill have to make a trip and see what its all about.
Place in Altamonte called "The Aquarium" huge wharehouse looks all run down from the outside but the inside housessome of the biggest tanks Ive seen outside of seaworld. I bought my L.R. there and some fish. Owner is very knowledgable and he sells alot of stock. Fish only though last I was there. Its off of 436 and 441 about a mile down from the exit ramp off of 441. Wortha stop if you are looking for a special fish. He keeps a huge Remora in the back in a huge pool full of L.R. Pretty neat.

Yea hes right. I been misled there but for lack of other places in Central FL. to go I threw it out there. They sold me a Goni and a carnation both said they were easy to care for. Look them up at home and guess what? Not easy and both died and I over paid big time!!
