Today marks the 18th year anniversary of The Reef Shoppe ☺️.
Yep, much like today, on a beautiful sunny October 1st, nearly two decades ago, I unlocked the front door, took a deep breath and crossed my fingers. It’s crazy how fast the time goes by!
I’d like to thank all the great employees, vendors and especially our amazing customers that have helped make The Reef Shoppe what it is. 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼

Samantha and I came into the shop today to find our main display tank VERY VERY CLOUDY.
As the lights came on we witnessed all the Trochus Snails in the tank spawning simultaneously.
The corals were feasting on it, extending their tentacles to capture a rare treat.
Here’s a quick video of one of the snails going to town!

I’ve seen some pretty interesting things in my career.
Yesterday, our part timer, Brendan noticed something strange in the acclimation bucket while getting some #conch ready.
It appears that this one has THREE EYES!
This ones a keeper, he’s residing in the display tank now.
