OUR STORY
From a Dorm Room to the Mainland
Koral King started in a college dorm room. Alan got into reefing near the end of high school, and by his first year of college he was tracking down corals and fish nobody else in the country had sourced yet — selling frags out of that dorm through Instagram DMs. No storefront. No website. Just a reefer who knew what he was looking at, and other reefers who trusted him.
That DM list turned into this. Today we ship livestock to reefers across the mainland US, we've set up at more than ten trade shows, shipped over 5,000 orders, and helped thousands of reefers get their tanks right. We still pick every piece ourselves, and you still get a straight answer from someone who actually keeps reefs.

Real reviews from reefers who have shopped, shipped, and stopped by.
I'm thoroughly impressed with their packaging. My corals all showed up in perfect condition. You can tell they are passionate about what they do and are some of the best in the business.

I've ordered several types of LPS from the great ppl at Koral King a few times now and they are a top notch operation that sets the bar pretty high. From the killer prices to their expedited and careful delivery, Koral King is gang.

Tucked away, off the main road you can find saltwater gems. Fish, coral, and more. The pics do not do the animals justice. Customer service is top notch. Alan knows his stuff!!

One of the coolest coral shops we've visited — truly stunning, high-end pieces! We've also had corals shipped to us and were very impressed with their communication and overall process. Everything arrived carefully packaged in a well-insulated box with a heat pack, and the corals looked great on arrival.

After 47 years of keeping saltwater aquariums and buying coral from shops all over, I can honestly say my experience with Koral King was one of the best I've ever had. From the start, the owner Alan Lee was incredibly welcoming.

Alan has a deep rooted passion for reef tanks and saltwater aquariums! He showed me tons of beautiful different coral fragments! He explained to me some basic and useful tips and how he got into the Koral King way of life! Excited to visit again!

I bought a beautiful Scoly from here and in person it is even more stunning! The packaging was flawless, the shipping was fast, and the coral keeps getting more gorgeous every day. I will absolutely be buying from here more and I would recommend it to anyone looking for amazing corals.

Alan and his team at Koral King are top notch. Recently picked up some pcs which are fire and acclimated perfectly. I recently participated in my first live sale which they help me navigate through and I even won a couple auctions. Can't wait to get up to Gainesville and see the shop in person. 6 out of five stars for this team.

I purchased a WWC Bounce Chalice and a pink Goniopora during one of The Koral King's live sales, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Both corals were packaged exceptionally well and arrived in excellent condition.

I had a great experience at Koral King in Gainesville. The store is extremely clean and well organized, which immediately stood out when I walked in. Every tank looked well maintained, and the corals and fish appeared healthy and vibrant.

The ONLY saltwater shop in Gainesville that's worth going to!! The care for all of their marine life, from fish to coral and invertebrates, is immaculate!

Truly the best reefer to do business with. Just bought a chalice from him and it came in less than 24 hours. Highly recommend checking him out for anything coral related.
