ReefBay Local Marketplace
Where can I buy coral and fish from reefers near me?
Start with local reef stores and hobbyists near you, since livestock bought locally skips shipping stress. The ReefBay app has a local marketplace where nearby reefers list frags, fish and gear for pickup, searchable by distance or ZIP code, plus reef stores near you and alerts when something new is listed nearby.
When local stock runs out, ReefBay also brings together coral and fish listings from more than 400 online vendors, and verified sellers can ship livestock with checkout in the app.

Frequently asked questions
Is it safe to buy frags from other hobbyists?
Generally yes, and local frags are often hardier because they are already used to aquarium conditions. Inspect for pests under white light, dip every coral, and meet somewhere public for pickup.
How do I sell my frags locally?
Create a local listing in the ReefBay app with photos and a price. Nearby reefers can find it by distance and get notified when you post.
Can sellers ship livestock through ReefBay?
Yes, verified ReefBay sellers with in-app payments set up can ship coral, fish and inverts. Local pickup listings do not need a seller account.
