THE CORAL CARTEL

Operating out of Caldwell, Idaho, The Coral Cartel runs on more than 45 years of reefing street-smarts. We’re here for everyone chasing saltwater serenity—from first-time frag buyers to full-blown reef bosses.

Our code is simple: keep reefing real.

No paywalls. No pretentious price tags. Just straight access to knowledge, quality coral, and a crew that’s got your back.

This hobby should chill you out, not stress you out—so we keep it transparent, affordable, and reef-ready.

Whether you’re just getting your feet wet or already running a full-blown reef empire, The Coral Cartel delivers what you need — clean coral, reef wisdom, and support that lasts.

Our operation runs out of Caldwell, Idaho, but our supply lines reach reefers across the entire U.S. Every frag that leaves the safehouse is hand-selected, healthy, and handled with care.

This isn’t just a business — it’s a movement to make reefing simple, affordable, and real. We deal in quality, not gimmicks. We deal in coral, not confusion.

You Don’t Have to Take Our Word for It…

My girlfriend and I are starting our first saltwater aquarium, and honestly feeling a little overwhelmed with it all! We went into R&R today and met with Chad, who was extremely helpful and spent an hour walking us through our new venture. He was extremely knowledgeable and gave us great advice on where to start, putting our minds at ease! Great customer service, great coral selection, great prices, and a very clean environment. We will definitely be coming back!
