We received a few top sellers this week that we frequently tend to showcase, so instead we decided to take some snapshots of different fish, coral and invertebrates that we haven’t highlighted for quite some time. It can be stressful picking out a new piece for your saltwater tank whether it be substrate or even a simple decoration, but we’re here to assure you we have experts that can help you from the smallest question to the most intricate. Check out our new invertebrates below or stop by and look through our vast saltwater selection.

Quite a few new vibrant corals are now available! In addition, our saltwater department is excited to share a couple Midas Blennies are back in stock. This Blenny was giving us the side eye for moving his favorite rock, but he sure is a fancy little fella. Included below are also two pictures of saltwater fish from previous weeks, but were too shy to pose for our camera when they first arrived. Have a great Mother’s Day weekend and we wish everyone luck for the fishing opener! Full list of this week’s arrivals below!

A few popular picks are back in stock, one of which is Pom Pom Crabs. 🦀 These crustaceans clip off parts of anemones which are then used for gathering food and warding off potential predators. 🐙 There are also a few more Tiger Pistol Shrimp and Gobies, which you can never have enough of. However nothing can compare to how cute it was to watch the Frilly Sea Hare lick the tank wall with his itty bitty radula ( basically a tongue made out of tiny teeth👅) and do what looked to be slow spin-outs on the glass. 🏎 As always, the whole list of newest arrivals is below.

It’s almost time for spring cleaning and shrimp are the perfect helpers! 🧹 A great choice would be Peppermint Shrimp as they help clean up nuisance Aiptasia anemones within your aquarium and accidental left over food. 🦐 The best part about shrimp or gobies is there is so many different kinds that make it possible to customize your tank to how you want it to look and function. We would also like to put out a final reminder on our huge clownfish sale that includes 30+ fish, and there is also a sale for hammer coral. 🔨 For the small list of this week’s arrivals check the categories below.
