Mike at Socaltropicalfish/Sexycorals in Fullerton will definitely give him the reef bug. I have been going there for almost two yrs and can't get enough of it. He will see corals there that he will never see anywhere else.

Medusa update:
Some stock in the SW holding tank; maybe 50 or so fish and inverts. One of the two frag tanks is empty, the other one has lots of softies/lps. And there is one stocked display: an 8g nano.
FW seems pretty full. Koi too.

hey guys.. I'm looking for a decent shop to pick up my first fish! Any shop around Walnut/Diamond Bar/Chino/Rowland??? anywhere around that area really.. Don't mind if the owner try to pressure sale.. Just looking for a good healthy variety of fish.
I've been going to Tang (Brea Tropical Fish). The owner is nice and everything, but he sold me a bunch of crap when I didn't know anything. I don't want to support his shop anymore.

7 Seas in San Pedro. If you are into designer clowns they have Frostbites, Wyoming and Midnights for $60 each. Many of them are mislabeled but if you know what you are looking for you can come out a winner.

Have to admit, this store really turned itself around these last few years. Owner has been less pushy lol. Was really bad at some point but worth a looks these days

So I saw your list earlier and it's pretty accurate. I would like to offer some corrections though.
Allan's on Lincoln does have a small SW collection. I don't remember seeing any Corals though. The fish they have seem to be OK but I'm fairly new at this so don't quote me.
Medusa has some corals but I've not been impressed with their SW stock.
Apex Aquarium (Sepulveda and Braddock/Culver blvd)... From Deuce Biggalo fame has some corals and SW fish. Selection is 'Ok'.
I went to Nature Aquarium last week and their selection was definitely better than the other stores mentioned. But still mostly FW.
People have good things to say about the Aquarium (Culver City) but I haven't been there in over five years.
