Whenever I’m out there to visit family, I usually make a point to go to Aquatic Collection in Hayward. Adding Violet Aquarium in Santa Clara to that list as well, they seem fairly new and I’ve received healthy livestock from them.

South bay: Neptune Aquatics; beautiful display tanks and a huge amount of corals for sale. I’d highly recommend dipping their corals though.

East Bay: Cali Kid Corals - high end.
Aquatic Collection - great selection of corals, and an even better selection of livestock.

North Bay: Under the Sea - newer store with recent ownership changes. Great selection but smaller store.

SF: Who knows, I avoid the city

Aquatic Collection and Neptune Aquatics are my go to, in my opinion Neptune is better for corals and Aquatic Collection is better for fish

Give High Tide Aquatics a visit as well. Only LFS with fully quarantined fish. Certified by humblefish. Lots of healthy corals to choose from as well.
