The Ugly Reef

08/08/2026

This weekend, we're coming together for the Carden family.

Ashley and Jacob's 6-month old son, Slade, was recently diagnosed with Krabbe Disease, a rare and devastating disease with no cure. Their family is facing something no parent should ever have to face, and we're proud to help support them during this incredibly difficult time.

This weekend, we will donate 10% of ALL SALES directly to the Carden family.

If you've been thinking about stopping in, picking up a new coral, or grabbing something for your tank, this weekend is a great opportunity to do it while helping a local family in need.
