Choosing between live rock and dry rock can shape your reef aquarium for years to come. Live rock offers an established ecosystem and faster biological benefits, while dry rock gives you more control and helps reduce the risk of unwanted pests—but each comes with important tradeoffs. We break down the differences so you can choose the best foundation for your tank, livestock, budget, and long-term goals.

Welcome to all of our new followers! We are glad to have you as part of the Fat Fish & Happy Corals family. Invite your friends to follow us and share your favorite reels or post with them. Come in and see us we have tons of corals, inverts and fish. We are adding a new invert system because we are out growing our current system. That is a good thing!

For all of our local customers who see us at the OCA EXTRAVAGANZA we are doing something different this year. We will only be at the swap on Saturday and not getting a room for the weekend. We will be accepting orders for fish bags until Thursday night that we will deliver to you on Friday evening at the hotel. On Saturday we will be set up at the swap with bags, Indian almond leaves, food, fish etc. On Sunday we will be there early for the auction and will have bags available then. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause for you but we suggest you get your bags early the next 3 weekends so that you are prepared for the Extravaganza. Thank you for your understanding.
