Sell Corals in the UK with CoralBay
UK Reefers First – Grown Here, Shared Here
As coral listings increasingly disappear from large overseas platforms, CoralBay provides a UK-first place for reef keepers to sell and share corals they grow themselves.
Why Sell Corals on CoralBay?
A UK-Built Platform for Reef Keepers
Many UK reef keepers have noticed coral and phytoplankton listings being removed from eBay — not due to lack of supply, but because of its Live Animal Policy.
As a large overseas platform, eBay operates under global rules, algorithms, and paid promotion models. For UK reefers, this often results in:
- Coral listings removed without warning
- Reduced visibility unless listings are promoted
- A specialist reefing hobby restricted by generic policies
Rather than relying entirely on overseas platforms, CoralBay offers a UK-based alternative built specifically for the reefing community.
CoralBay is built in the UK, for UK reef keepers — enabling hobbyists to sell corals they’ve grown themselves, without commissions, paid promotion, or algorithm-driven visibility.
