This is your neck of the woods, @JoJosReef. Do you have any suggestions?

There's some lovely filth down here!
Other side of LA, I'm afraid. May as well be Kansas.
Although if OP is looking for coral, a trip down to Golden State Corals in Van Nuys may be well worth it!

There’s a store called Aquatic Jewels in Montecito.
There were two in Santa Barbara at one point. One closed in 2017 and the other was still there when I left in 2019, but it didn't survive the pandemic apparently. I used to drive to Vivid Aquariums in Thousand Oaks. There was also a place in SLO called Tropics.

The one I mentioned in Montecito is owned by a lady, Dottie, that used to run a shop on De la Vina street in Santa Barbara. She and her business partner are very nice. It’s small but they have a nice selection of fish and coral. Not an equipment place. But they can order whatever you want. I get the impression that lots of their business is servicing tanks for the wealthy in the area. But their prices in store seems reasonable.
There are a couple other options in the Ventura / Oxnard region but I’ve only checked out one of those. Worth checking if you don’t mind driving the extra hour or so.
