Reviews of Palmetto Reef (Fish Shop)

Jesse Lyons Live

If you're looking for corals this is the place to go. They also buy corals as long as they're in good shape. They only carry salt water fish at the moment so keep that in mind if you're just getting started with fish keeping. Salt water aquariums are usually not appropriate for a beginner hobbyist. They are also a wholesaler of Red Sea Aquarium products!

First, I don't know anything about fish. It's a new hobby for me. The staff at Palmetto Reef is very knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming -- even to us newbies!

Susan Hall

Always enjoy going to Palmetto Reef

Paul Williams

Wonderful store that has everything I've been searching for to stock my saltwater aquarium. Healthy livestock, friendly staff (Will and Ashley are awesome). They took good care of me being a first time customer and I will definitely be back! Excellent variety of Zooanthids, Euphyllia, all reasonably priced. #IDreamAboutPalmettoZoos

Very knowledgeable staff and great selection. Helpful and welcoming to both new and veteran aquarists

Kai Sekula

These guys have a nice selection but are lost in their own world. They will bag up your corals set them on the counter and never check you out.

Buddy Delaney

Great store for tropical fish. Definitely the most helpful staff I have encountered.

Dotti Martin

Nicholas Rogers

Owners are good people that work hard and do everything they can to make you successful with your tanks all I got to say is thank you palmetto reef.

My husband has had a salt water tank for over 30 years. We stopped in at Palmetto Reef on our way home from Charleston. The corals and fish were the healthiest we had ever seen. The prices were fair and Will knows all the latest technology to keep aquariums healthy. The staff couldn't have been friendlier if they tried. A great store! We can't wait to get our place in Charleston, set-up a new tank, and do some shopping at Palmetto Reef!

Nate Gamble

Great variety of exotic fish.

Allison G

I decided to try out a new fish store after receiving consistently bad customer service from Fishy Business, and I couldn't be happier I did so!! Not only are the prices way better, the sales staff at Palmetto Reef are knowledgeable, friendly and they patiently answered all my questions about my tank. Plus, they have a great selection of fish and corals to choose from, and all the tanks looked healthy and clean. 5/5 I had a great experience and would definitely recommend this store over anywhere else in the area!

The staff is extremely friendly. The store is a little lacking right now because they're in the middle of rearranging and optimizing. All in all, nice place to visit. Good selection of corals and fish.

Pro Green Trees & Landscape

Best reef shop in the midlands and maybe South Carolina! Will the owner is very helpful and knows what he is talking about! Feel like I'm at home every time I go in! And the prices are the best around!!

Ryan Cline

By far the best reef shop in South Carolina. Huge selection of coral and amazing prices. Will and Ashley have the best customer service skills. Highly recommend for the best possible experience when shopping for a reef tank, coral, or fish.

A bit pricey, but you pay for what you get: quality products.

Matt Reno

I've been to coral and fish shops all over the US but THIS place has some of the most vibrant and healthy corals I've seen. By far one of the best selections in the business. Great job Palmetto Reef!!

Olin Martin

Will is very helpful and always willing to explain everything in detail

Jamie Lausman

Outstanding Selections, Service, Knowledge.

les arkin

Not often you find a merchant that feels it's as important to pass on their love for a product as it is to make a sale. Will is that person. He is just as anxious to talk and educate you as he is to sell you a fish or coral. I highly recommend Palmetto Reef....

Matt

Wonderful store, friendly and knowledgeable staff. They have extremely fair prices compared to most aquarium shops!

Dr Jess Schwartz

Great saltwater fish store. So many options for fish and coral. They sell used aquariums and do custom setups. They also sell new setups too.

Hannah Wells

Palmetto Reef has such a friendly, cool, fun atmosphere! They keep beautiful fish and coral, keep everything healthy, and treat their clients great. They also do a great job of supporting other local businesses. The owners are kind and helpful. Great local business!

Thanks Will ! Really enjoyed all the info you gave me and i definitely will be returning. Do yourself a favor and stop by this saltwater store

Dylan Adame

There’s two reasons people keep coming back to this store excited about the hobby. And those two reasons are Will and Ashley. Not only will they help you get into the hobby for a reasonable price they go above and beyond in helping you take the best care of your tanks and give amazing advice every step of the way. I have been to many fish stores in South Carolina and I can safely say this store is where you want to be.

Richard Coufal

Best salt water aquarium store in the state! #allmymoneygoestocoral #PalmettoReef

Stephen Palmer

Friendly local place owned by a young couple. It's been a neat journey watching them grow and change to meet their customers needs

Mike Gould

Very helpful and knowledgeable

William Roeder

Easily the best coral and fish store I've ever been too

Wyatt Moon

Awesome store. Super clean, beautiful tanks where everything had a price. Will was very friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to teach us as much as we wanted to know.

Chris Unroe

Great selection of coral and fish. He has a nice selection of coral frags for those that like to grow their reef. The larger coral pieces were just as nice, His display tanks are just amazing. Will is very knowledgeable, if you have a problem with your tank he'll help you figure it out.

Linksyy

Over priced I’ll just stick to fishy business. All the coral frags look horrible. I could order off the internet counting the shipping and it would still be cheaper.

Matthew Stanin

I have been around the hobby and industry for years but I have yet to see the professionalism and quality represented at Palmetto Reef. The quality of coral that is sold here goes above and beyond any store online or local that I have seen. If you want a real experience go and experience the quality and service first hand, you will not be disappointed.

Kyle Goble

Top notch saltwater aquarium/reef shop! Excellent service, and we learned a ton about our new, first ever saltwater/coral set up from Ashley (thank you!) and adopted two new clowns to start. The one on one customer service was excellent.

Ismail Singleton

Awesome place, like a mini aquarium.

Scott Thigpen

Brock Collins

Great staff

John See

Great new store. Very knowledgeable. Was able to build my reef tank without breaking the bank because of them. High quality! I can't say enough about them!

Monika Rodz

Wide variety owner very nice and educated

Kevin Ensinger

Ashley and Will are fantastic. My wife, kids and I love going in and seeing what's new, almost every week. My favorite part is the attention that they give each person that walks in the door. I always feel welcomed and will get my questions answered while learning more. Friendly atmosphere with great lighting and cleanliness. After purchasing from Palmetto Reef, we set up an appointment for Will, Dan and Nick to set up a larger tank in my home. They did not disappoint and made every effort to educate and discuss the process. Our sea life has always been healthy and happy that we have purchased from them. I highly recommend Palmetto Reef no matter how much experience you have. Cheers- Kevin

Paul Taft

Robert Wilder

Gray Spence

Will is a super genuine guy and always there to help. The store is always super clean and the staff is very knowledgeable. I look forward to going here every week. Plus Max the malinois always makes the trip enjoyable!!!

Jesse Newsome

Great selection of coral and fish. The owners are very friendly and knowledgeable about the hobby. I like the fact that everything isn't green. To many aquarium stores sell green because it's the cheaper coral. Palmetto Reef has great colour at a competitive price.

Reggie Ratcliff

Knowledgeable

Joe Popkowski

The most enthusiastic and knowledgeable staff and owners in all of the pet type stores in Columbia. They helped me easily get started with saltwater tanks and I am confident they will be there to help me when/if I need it!

ronnie dover
