Going into Pop Corals was an amazing experience. The owner John was extremely knowledgeable, patient and never tried to upsell anything, great selection of corals, fair prices, healthy fish and immaculate tanks. Ended up picking up a Aussie bubble and a mocha storm clownfish, will be heading back to pick up a couple of torches.

If you live in the neighborhood I'm not going to tell you not to go there. If you need supplies from an aquarium store you will find it there. The customer service is severely lacking however. I will spend my money somewhere else. Remember, the power of the consumer lies within us, not with rude store keepers.

  • Cesar Martinez

Had an amazing time here, John helped me out and made me feel welcome not just to the store but to the hobby. Gave me a ton of helpful information on what to get and never tried to upsell or push things on me, amazing selection of corals will definitely be making more stops in the future

  • Lori Gjenashaj

Great place for your saltwater needs. John jr. Is amazing he knows everything about corals. He answered all my questions and helped me with my tank. Incredible selection of corals. The selection and pricing are amazing. I recommend this place to anyone who is into saltwater reef systems.

  • Robert C.

These guys work their butts off and it shows. It’s not easy to take care of coral and marine fishes. I was recently in there and I pick up some live rocks. The owner was able to steer me to what type of fish will survive in my tank, which was a beautiful Maroon Yellow clown fish.

Went there the other day but didn't like it at all. Horrible customer service, the manager was really rude. There are many other coral stores that are better by faaar in the area, with better prices and customer service, I recomend to go check them out. Do not come here

  • JL L

The guy is cool, but the things are so expensive. I bought 5 ft airline tubing, the guy charged me $6, a rigid airline tubing for $4 and a bag of live PODs plankton for $20. The pods are fined. Tubing is so expensive. So don't buy any aquarium accessories there.

Best salt water fish store in NYC!!! Store is setup beautifully!!! Tanks are meticulously clean and fish are happy!!! Staff is very friendly and don't push buyers like other stores do!!! Simply must visit store if you are looking for salt water creatures!!!

  • Benjamin Forbes

Constantly updated selection of beautiful and healthy corals, a modest selection of fishes and knowledgeable staff. Go here if you are new to the hobby and need advice to get set up or if you are a seasoned aquarist and know just what you want.

John is an excellent aquatic professional. He will never steer you in the wrong direction just to make a sale. His staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. I only get my fish and corals from him. Never had an issue .thanks so much pop corals

When I went into the store, I was surprised at how well all the fish and corals look very vibrant. All the colors are Poppin and everything look real healthy. The things that I didn’t like when I walked in I was the only one in the store.

  • Lisa Daniels

I drove here from SI. Says opens at 11. Got here at 11:35. Its now 11:50. So i guess I just eat the $19 toll. I should’ve just went to the aquarium place over the Outerbridge, in NJ. They have better fish and coral anyway.

  • Grace Jang

My husband came home with Wellsophyllia Brain Coral today (see picture), raving about how the owner Joe was really helpful and nice. The LPS selection is amazing and the store carries a broad range of Hanna Instruments.
