There are a couple of Corpus guys here that can help you more than I can. Solid comes to mind right off the bat. Only time I'm in Corpus involves fishing.

There IS a saltwater fish store down there but I can't remember the name.

They have corals, fish & a lotta unused space.

I forgot to take pictures last time I was there.

I'll continue doing research to see if I can dig it up & post it if possible.

Here is there web site.

It's better than a petco, not as satisfying as Elegant Reef. And a far cry from T & T fish & pets.

I love GC Reef. The stock can vary depending on their shipments and in store breeding, so it can look a bit empty sometimes - but it is always clean. They're very accommodating for people traveling from out of town as well.

There is also the petco on Saratoga and staples, the last time I was there they had a large selection of fish and corals as good as a lot of LFSs (unlike the petcos here) and there's a new lfs (to me) that's also on Saratoga just can't think of the name...

Texas State Aquarium, Lexington, and kobe beef fajitas at Fajitaville. They are all super close together you can walk to them if you park at the aquarium.

The Lexington is actually what brought our family to Texas. My wife's mother and father met in the navy on the Lexington and she grew up hearing stories about it. She had a blast there seeing all the spots they told her about.

Aquarium Masters -- Saratoga and Weber. (can be OK)
GC Reef (good)
Tropical Fish Haven == McCardle Rd (not so good)
