I had the same question about a month ago. There's nothing within 30 miles of Gulf Shores. Progressive Marine in Mobile sounds like the best place to check out. Also two stores in Pensacola which would be the closest @ about 40 miles from Gulf shores. And Fat Fish in Daphne-might could stop there on the way down.

If you haven't made the trip down here yet and can let me have an idea what you're looking for I might be able to help which stores would be best to visit. I live about 5 miles north of Gulf Shores. You could hit all of the stores in a day, but it would be lots of driving and a full day. 
I might be able to narrow it down with an idea of what kind of corals/fish/etc. you like.

I would love to come home with a nice colony or two of zoas. I've also been looking for an acan lord.
Thanks for your help! We're leaving next weekend.

Progressive Marine is a pretty high end store. Lots of quality stuff and pretty neat SPS selection. They are located behind Lowes in Tillman's Corner. Also, I believe they open around 2:00.
Fat Fish in Daphne has a 2500 gallon set up...pretty neat. Last time I was there they had some pretty neat zoas and blastos. Also a few acan lords I believe. Their fish didn't look too hot though.
Just in case you want to stop by a few shops on your way...
You might want to stop by Petsville in Prattville just off of I-65 on hwy 14 across from Dairy Queen (2nd Prattville exit if your traveling southbound).
Aquarium Fantasies is in Montgomery just off the Atlanta Hwy. They have a lot of good stuff too.
God Bless,

Hey thanks for the info. I'll be sure to stop in atleast a couple. I'll check back in to let you know what I found.
Fat Fish has 2 Acans in now, I got one few weeks ago and am getting it used to more light so it's starting to color up. They don't have a ton of color but are healthy. I was there today, haven't been by Progressive Marine in a while but they're pretty consistant with their stock.
Sent you a pm.
