I went to Deep Blue Aquariums yesterday and got these nice frags. Please excuse the crappy photo, the colors really pop in person. They have a great selection and the employees are knowledgeable and helpful. Looking forward to going back for more corals and fish.

So, Allen's Aquarium over on Lincoln closed a couple of months ago. The old managers re-opened in West LA (at Medusa's old location). They don't have much in terms of corals but I was impressed with some of the fish they had in stock. At the very least it's a closer location for food and supplies for those of us on the west side.

Wait... This all happened on my bicycle path and I did not notice? Shows how long it's been since I went to Medusa. Last time, they only have one fish.

I'd recommend going to Nature Aquarium on Santa Monica Blvd over Allen's. Although Nature Aquarium's prices are a bit steeper, they have a good stock of corals and fish (and their customer service is excellent). I've had some bad experiences at Allen's and would not go back unless it was absolutely necessary.

Wow, I had no idea Deep Blue aquarium was so close to my house. I'm literally right down the block from them. Gotta check them out

Wanted to update, I visited Deep Blue Aquarium and it was great. Hong is friendly and has a nice selection of sps, which is what I'm mainly into. So glad I don't have to travel that far now to get what I need! I would recommend.

Pricing is very reasonable. There's a $10 section that has a mixture of some sps, lps, and softies. Sometimes you can find some nice stuff in there. From there, it goes up to $25 for the nicer acro frags, and a little more for bigger pieces. I think it's worth it to stop by if you're into sps.

The $10 sections are really neat. Have not seen that since Tong's.

Hope it's not true. Was a really nice place.

I was in the area yesterday and stopped by. It is not closed, but also not what I would call nice. Last time I was in there was years ago and I thought it seemed nicer back then.

I just posted on their FB and they replied, saying they closed and moved out of state six months ago.
