Ellis Aquatics was established in March of 2012 as a way to give a financial break to those people wanting to enter or stay in the aquarium hobby. We started out with a single 20 gallon tank curing live rock, and nothing more. In under a year Ellis Aquatics upgraded and expanded to 400-500 pounds of cured live rock at any given time, a variety of fish, 100s of corals, and approaching 200 different

items in stock and 1000s more which can be ordered. Our hard work helping meet and exceed your expectations along with your support and appreciation has helped Ellis Aquatics expand repeatedly. We look forward to continuing to grow with you throughout this hobby, and continue to help you save more and more as we expand. Thank you for your support and we look forward to a very bright future with you. Ellis Aquatics….building good business relationships from honesty, and quality.

Did You Know?

Many wrasses are incredible jumpers and can launch themselves through surprisingly small openings.

In the wild, wrasses often dart quickly to escape predators or aggression. In aquariums, sudden movement, territorial disputes, lighting changes, or even being startled can trigger the same behavior.

Newly introduced wrasses are especially prone to jumping while adjusting to a new environment.

Using a tight-fitting mesh lid is one of the best ways to help prevent accidents while still allowing strong airflow and light pe*******on.

Popular jumping-prone wrasses include:
• Fairy Wrasses
• Flasher Wrasses
• Leopard Wrasses
• Possum Wrasses
and many others.

We carry a wide variety of wrasses along with mesh lid supplies and reef-safe aquarium equipment to help keep your fish protected.

PRO CARE TIP

Many LPS corals can benefit from regular target feeding.

Using a pipette, coral feeder, or turkey baster allows food to reach the coral directly instead of immediately being carried away by flow or filtration.

For best results:
• Temporarily reduce flow during feeding
• Many corals feed more aggressively after lights dim
• Use small portions to avoid nutrient spikes
• Observe each coral’s feeding response

Corals such as acans, blastos, scolys, favias, and euphyllia often respond very well to direct feeding and may show improved extension, coloration, and growth over time.

We carry a wide variety of:
• Coral foods
• Target feeding tools
• Aminos & supplements
• Reef nutrition products
• Frozen foods
and more!

Did You Know?

Lyretail Anthias naturally live in structured social groups called harems.

In the wild, one dominant male typically leads a group of females. If the male disappears, the dominant female can actually transition into a male over time.

This natural hierarchy helps reduce aggression and maintain stability within the group, but it also means Anthias can become territorial if overcrowded or underfed in captivity.

Because of their fast metabolism and active swimming behavior, Anthias generally do best with:
• Frequent feedings
• Strong water quality
• Plenty of swimming space
• Carefully planned group sizes

These beautiful reef fish are constantly moving and add incredible color and activity to reef aquariums.

We regularly carry a wide variety of Anthias including:
• Lyretails
• Bartlett’s
• Purple Queens
• Borbonius
• Bimaculatus
and more!

——————————————

DISCLAIMER / FINE PRINT

• Some exclusions apply.
• Valid on current advertised Memorial Day promotions only.
• Competitor item(s) must be the same species/product, comparable size, quality, condition, and currently available.
• BOGO, BOGO 50%, percent-off, bundle, and similar promotions may be honored based on the competitor’s final advertised deal price/value, and do not automatically apply to Ellis Aquatics’ lower everyday pricing.
• When matching promotional offers, Ellis Aquatics may match the competitor’s final deal price or establish equivalent pricing before applying promotional structures.

Example:
Competitor offer: Buy 1 Fish, Get 1 50% Off
Competitor pricing: Flame Angel $100 + Blue Tang $100 = $150 final total

If Ellis Aquatics sells those same fish for $60 each (a better everyday price than even the competitors sale price) promotional offers are evaluated against the competitor’s final deal value ($150) rather than automatically applying “Buy 1 Get 1 50% Off” to Ellis Aquatics’ already-lower pricing.

• Final approval of all price matches remains at Ellis Aquatics discretion.
