UK Reef Shops & Coral Sellers – Online & Local Stores

Finding reliable reef shops and coral growers in the UK isn’t always easy — especially if you’re looking beyond the larger, well-known retailers. Many excellent coral sellers operate on a smaller scale, serve only specific regions, or trade primarily online or through social platforms rather than large storefronts.

This page exists to help UK reef keepers discover a wider range of reef shops, coral growers, and marine aquarium sellers — both physical local fish stores (LFS) and online-only businesses — all in one place.

What This Directory Is

This is a community-focused catalogue of UK reef shops and coral sellers that I have come across over time through reefing forums, social media, online searches, and recommendations from other hobbyists.

Types of reef shops included

• Brick-and-mortar marine aquarium shops
• Online coral stores
• Small-scale coral growers and home-based frag sellers
• Specialist livestock sellers serving the UK market

The aim is not to rank or rate shops, but simply to make them easier to find.

Why a UK-Specific Reef Shop List Matters

Reef keeping in the UK comes with unique challenges — from shipping constraints and weather considerations to livestock availability and water chemistry differences compared to other regions. Finding UK-based coral sellers can make a real difference when it comes to coral health, acclimation success, and overall reliability.

How this directory helps reef keepers

• Discover coral sellers operating locally or regionally
• Find alternative sources when specific corals are hard to obtain
• Support UK reef businesses and independent growers
• Explore options beyond the most visible mainstream retailers

Important Notes About This List

This is not a paid or sponsored directory.
No shop listed here has paid to be included, promoted, or ranked.

Listing limitations

• Not vetted or endorsed
• Not ranked in any particular order
• Included purely as an informational resource

As with any reef livestock purchase, reef keepers should always do their own research, ask questions, and make informed decisions before buying corals or marine livestock.

Accuracy & Updates

I try to keep this list reasonably up to date, but reef shops change, move, close, or alter their offerings over time. Some sellers may no longer stock corals, may trade seasonally, or may operate intermittently.

Help improve this directory

• Incorrect information
• A shop that has closed
• A missing UK reef shop or coral grower

Feedback is genuinely appreciated.
