They are always helpful. Corals are always healthy and never had a dead on arrival. This is important unlike the other Coral shops they do not use a lot of editing like adding Vibrance in their corals photos.

Austin Aqua Farms Testimonials

  • I've been eye balling AAF for awhile but never pulled the trigger until the other day. I am an Acan guy and have more than 20 nice colonies. I understand corals change color (conditions and lighting) but loved the fact they are under MH instead of LEDs and tell you what they're running for lights and equipment in it's own section. My corals look exactly like the picture, zero difference. Very happy, just don't know if I should have let the cat out of the bag want this as my secret.

    • Oscar Tello
  • I have the privilege of living close to AAF. I recently picked up my first order from them. I could instantly tell the difference in coloration from my other corals. I'll definitely be buying from AAF again very soon!

  • Just received first Acans from Austin Farms.Very nice,great color and the size was as shown. I think the shipping price is very good. I just ordered 3 more Acans and was only charged 29 for the three. Thanks to Matt.

    • Johnny Shelby
  • Quick service, good packaging and corals with outstanding colors! Will definitely not be my last time shopping on this site! Well Done! Next task find me a scoly that looks as good as my acans!

    Thanks

  • Great service and even better corals.I have dealt with alot of online stores and this is the best that I have had the pleasure of working with and will definitely be ordering from them again in the future. Thanks for the great corals Nate

    • Nate
  • I've know of Austin Aqua Farms for over 4 years and they have always had some very beautiful corals. After somewhat of an impulse buy of $900 worth of Acans I had some buyers remorse. That was until they came in. All I can say is "Wow"! They actually look better in my tank than I thought they would. The colors are so intense that it makes some of my other corals look drab in comparison. There is always a favorite coral in all of our tank's... Well I have 4 Favorites now.

    Great Stuff Here! The Colors are represented well. Most people can't say that when they get in their corals from an on-line coralfish store. Look no further. There is a reason things sell out quick here.

    • David
  • I usually dont order corals online but just couldn't resist getting some acans. The corals where packaged very good and they look great under my LEDs.

    Thanks

  • Love corals and the prices

    • Erik Hoffer
  • I have been a customer of AAF for almost 2 years now. They have outstanding corals at reasonable prices. I have ordered online and they have the best packed/shipped product I have experienced. Corals opened up almost immediately in my tank after shipping and dipping, which probably was not even needed but I do out of habit. I have also purchased corals directly from the facility on Saturday, which is amazing BTW, and the corals look quite similar to the photos online. Matt and James are very helpful and great to work with. I will not purchase from any other vendors and I give the highest recommendation possible for AAF!

    • Mark Johnson
  • First time ordering and I have to say I was impressed. Specimens appeared exactly like the photos and were healthy. Their salinity was bang on 1.026 which has always been an issue for me when I ordered from other sites. Will be ordering from them again in the future.

  • After receiving my first coral order today. I can not say enough great things about this place. I have ordered from numerous online vendors through the years. This place has them beat hands down. It's not even CLOSE! Communication is great. I was contacted the day before my order shipped to let me know the Acan I ordered wasn't doing well and he didn't want to take a chance sending it. They substituted my order with a larger and more colorful Acan colony for no additional cost. Corals arrived packaged extremely well. In fact, I'll state that it was the most well packed and thought out packing I have ever received. I ordered 3 beautiful Aussie chalice corals. Every one of them came healthy and inflated in the shipping pouch. I was so blown away by this, as their tissue is normally receded into the skeleton during shipping, taking several hours to days to fully reinflate. I dipped all corals prior to introducing them to my quarantine system. Nothing in the dip bucket but a ton of copepods and amphipods. This is a sign their coral systems are healthy and lacking pests. The pricing is INSANELY LOW for the size and quality of the corals, it's Amazing. It's so low I can even put it into words. I don't know how they do it??? My only regret, in this whole process, is that I didn't give Matt and his crew a chance sooner. I would have saved TONS of cash. I absolutely believe that if you give this place a try. You will just as blown away by the whole process as I was.

  • I'm always hesitant to order livestock online but the WYSIWYG photos made me confident. I'm glad I did because both of my pieces arrived in less than 24 hours after placing my order and opened fully within the day.

    I was very impressed with the packing as well - probably the best I've seen and a far cry from the giant bags that allow too much room for corals to get banged up. I'll be back soon!

    • Ryan
  • Just got my corals in a couple hours ago. They were warm and packaged well.

    • Jeannie
  • Fairest prices on Web. Highest quality corals!!! Highly recommend!!

    • Rick Kirsch
  • My Cocos has been at home four months now and not only is this little clam hardy but is growing and the MOST BEAUTIFUL clam I have found at any store or tank displayed. It is hands down the loveliest I have ever seen in. Even online in google search I can't find something that comes close to the color of mine IMO. I am beyond happy and just wish I knew where to find the promo codes for coupons. I want to spend my pay checks here now. Boy freind is hooked now too!!!

    • Chelsea Guedon
  • Recently received my second order. A healthy coral for sure and it was packaged very well. Once again Matt provided great customer service. Thank you.

    • Steve Fontana
  • Ordered a half dozen acans, a goniopora, and a SPS.

    Everything looked great a few hours after arrival and still does a month later.

    All corals look like their pictures.

    I made a mistake on my order and had to call AAF to correct it - friendly customer service.

    • Keith
  • We have shopped for corals online and at stores and these are the best corals we have bought. We keep coming back for more! Just wish the shipping was a little cheaper but understand why because the packing is the best, too! Glad we found you!!!

    • Bill and Charlene
  • I've ordered from Matt a couple of times. The specimens are packed extremely well, never had an issue, heat packs, whatever was necessary. Always shipped Fedex priority, and delivered by 10:30 AM usually earlier. They are barely in the box for 18 hours before they are being acclimated to my tank. Beautiful T. Squamosa this time. Nice chunky fat boy. Advertised as 5" but more like 6 to 61/2". Very healthy and open full with in 30 minutes of being introduced to the tank. Thanks Matt, perfect as always!

    • Jeff
  • As most of the others, I ordered recently for my first time... very pleased with the service, shipping and especially the corals. Look as good if not better than the pictures. I'll be ordering from here again!

    • Dominic
  • Everything was exactly as i ordered. I’ve had all 5 corals for 2 months now and everything is doing great!

    • John
  • I purchased several corals yesterday. The corals are healthy and doing great in my tank. The owner and staff could not have been nicer and more informative. I will definitely purchase from this shop again!

    • Tracie Neffendorf

  • I recommend AFF! You cannot go wrong ordering from here. The packaging is A+++. This place is on my top list for ordering corals from. The prices are fair the pictures look like the coral you receive. Matt is a very nice guy and followed up on my order and has been very helpful. The website is very user friendly. Thank you Matt and AAF I will be back!!!! 5star customer service and SUPER nice corals!

    • Kurt Hickman
  • Packaging arrived in excellent condition, however, due to the holiday seasons, the shipping was delayed by the shipper while in-transit. Austin Aqua Farms followed up with my order and promptly offered me store credits for items that didn't quite make it. It is hard to find such awesome customer service! Would certainly order from them again!

    • Agnes Y.
  • Austin Aqua Farms has been one of my favorite places to buy coral from. The staff that work in the facility are super helpful and friendly. I also really appreciate that the products are constantly changing so you are always able to find a good selection of different corals to choose from. Thank you guys for top notch products and customer service!

    • Jason Austin
  • The Acans here are amazing, very affordable i couldn't believe the prices and the colors!! A frag with 10+ polyps in the $25-40 range is unbelievable, when LFS will sell that price for just 1 or 2 polyps! When i got the shipment, the acans polyps were even open in the bag, very healthy!
