    There’s a few saltwater aquarium and coral shops in the Charlotte market. But if your looking the the largest selection of corals, this is your one stop. Literally 100’s of coral frags and colonies. Awesome selection and unbeatable prices. I’ve gotten to know the owner for a while now, and he truly cares are listens to each and every customer to understand and cater to their individual needs. Awesome saltwater coral shop.

    Big shout out to Kevin & Graham with Queen City Corals for setting up an amazing new tank for me! He made my setup perfect for me! Help me decided what I wanted, gave me clear expectation of what to expect for timing and cost and then ordered and shipped and setup everything! He had his team make these custom rock sculptures by hand! Then removed my old tank and delivered and white glove setup everything for me! The selection of coral in their store was insane, they had everything, literally hundreds of things to choose from! I will say the best service I’ve received from an #LFS ! Thanks Kevin, Graham & Kyle. I trust these guys a lot and they delivered!! #Coral #clownfish #saltlife #saltwater #reefer #aquarium #aquaculture #fish #fishtank

    I purchased an 8-pack of Rock Flower Anemones, Stellar Mushroom, etc. Kevin allowed me to select the arrival date. The corals were packed safe and secure. All corals arrived alive and are doing well. For the rock nems, they allow you to request the specific colors you want and don’t want. Great Company, Great Selections, Great Experience. I look forward to my next purchase with them.

    So. My story with these guys have been awesome. I purchased my first corals from these guys which where pest free. Within 5 minutes of placing my order the owner contacted me and was very nice and informative about the corals. Worried the order may not make it he did tell me that. However I had to have them shipped when I did because I was going out of town for a while. That being said. All my corals arrive alive except my acans. I didn’t say anything about it because I felt it was my fault and most saltwater people don’t replace corals especially when they informed you it wasn’t good conditions so I accept fault and didn’t say anything. A few weeks later the owner contacted me asking me how my order was and I told him great just that my acans didn’t make but I wasn’t complaining and accepted that it was my fault and I was sorry for not listening to him. However he told me on my next order he would replace them. Which I was surprised about but honestly had doubts. Almost 4 months later I placed another order and I was surprised when I contacted him and asked him about the replacement that not only did he replace them but he replaced them with good quality coral that I picked out that was close to my dollar amount. I will never shop anywhere else but here at QCC as any other corals I’ve purchased from any other supplier has died these guys have went above and beyond customer service. They have good healthy pest free corals And they are reasonable. Not to mention their affiliated with some payment programs that makes it easier to bring my reef alive. Thanks so much QCC I look forward to seeing what else I can find from you guys.

    By far one of if not the best emerging companies to buy coral from online! It’s refreshing to work with Kevin the owner who clearly has a passion for what he is doing, and also his attention to detail when it comes to working with his customers to provide the best experience. I was seeking this specific color morph of the GMK Zoa and he found it for me within a couple days. Quality of shipping was precise with timing it so nothing was harmed on shipment to Arizona and very well secured. Happy to say this is my go to shop and envious he’s not in my state.

    Stopped in after seeing their post on a reefers' Facebook site. Man, I wish I would have stopped by sooner! Great staff! Amazing corals, in a clean, well organized organized show room! Awesome pricing and specimens. I needed some simple movement and color and picked up 2 new additions for my tank at a great price. Will be back soon. Great local business that also supports online sales!

    Small family business. Staff very friendly. Very good corals. Convenient if you buy online and select a day for store pick up.

    Absolutely great experience with Queen City Corals! I saw an amazing Rainbow Trachyphyllia on the website that caught my eye. I had a couple of questions before I pulled the trigger on it. It was late in the evening and my message was answered almost immediately. So, I placed the order and had a confirmation right away. This beautiful centerpiece shipped on time and arrived on time, very well packaged an healthy. To top it off, I was surprised with some really nice freebies. Everything settled in and opened up nicely. I could not be happier with the fast friendly service, will definitely order again. Keep up the great work!

    I hadn’t ordered corals online in about 10 years. After a lot of shopping around, QCC seemed to have the best prices I could find for the zoas I wanted. Everything arrived on time and was perfectly packed. Corals are healthy, appeared to be pest free, and have almost fully opened after just 1 hour in my tank. They even threw in a freebie. 10/10 highly recommend!

    Amazing first experience! I placed an order online and everything arrived in perfect condition! They even had the frag plugs pushed through a hole in a small cup to ensure there was no damage from shipping. I have a 25 gal bow front that has no coral in it yet, but I will be getting every single piece from these guys!

  • 5/5 Wade L. 6 months ago on Google
    When the corals arrived they were nicely packaged and once acclimated everything opened up and looks great. The thing that has set QCC apart from the other business I have ordered from was the variety of their selection. Absolutely beautiful stuff!

    Great prices, service, and communication! What else could you ask for? UPS gave me a shipping issue and Queen City Corals corrected the problem as fast as possible! 100% Satisfied Customer who will be returning! GREAT JOB!

  • 5/5 Jay B. 10 months ago on Google
    Prices are very fair and the product comes in looking very healthy. The corals recovered quickly and looked nice and full within hours of acclimating to my tank. Will definitely order from Queen City again.

    Buy buy buy!!! This shop is amazing! 1 day shipping and you choose the day, but the selection is amazing, the sales and standard prices are equally amazing! If you have questions or leave a note at checkout they are quick to respond, and the health of the corals is unbelievable, I done a dip, and found virtually no pests, and Frag plugs beautifully coated in coralline algae, I'm now addicted to this shop!

  • 5/5 Cassidy 7 months ago on Google
    Perhaps the best experience I've had ordering coral online. Excellent selection and very fair pricing. Coral arrived packaged in individual containers to help prevent damage (an absolutely genius idea). Purchased half a dozen Frogspawn and Torches. I was able to easily select a delivery date during the checkout process. All arrived healthy and are doing very well in our tank. Will definitely be ordering again!

    Queen City Corals has great looking corals, a large variety of different type of corals, and at reasonable price. They also have special which help lower the price. Andrea, is very knowledgeable about the marine hobby, she’s kind, and very helpful. She has assisted me twice now when making my order by answering questions and sending me pictures of the corals. Which I think is very important when I live in Miami, Florida and Queen City Corals is located in Mint Hill, North Carolina. This business has great costumer service, and the products are fantastic as well. You can’t go wrong making your purchases at this aquatic store. I will continue to ordering from them as long as I’m able to. Queen City Corals rocks, I hope you continue doing a great job.

    I am so impressed by how thoughtfully packaged the corals were. Double sealed and floated to avoid the heads touching the bag. Clearly so much care went into ensuring a healthy arrival. Beautiful corals at affordable prices. My new go-to shop!

    First time ordering Coral online and the corals were big and well packaged had plenty of water and a cool pack. Very happy with my order

    Kevin at Queen City corals is awesome! Very knowledgeable and very responsive and always helps me out with any questions I have. His facility is very clean and tidy and his specimens are of the highest quality I’ve seen in a long time!

    Ordered online several times, and the customer service is amazing! Wide variety of healthy corals. Finally got the chance to stop by in person today, and was worth the drive! So much to see, highly recommend.

    Great shop, I’ve purchased a lot of coral on line since I don’t have the greatest selection of local shops. These guys take every step possible to make sure your corals are protected during shipping. Its honestly amazing. They corals also came virtually pest free, I’m used to dipping corals and having a grave yard of worms etc. nothing on these guys! Corals all had amazing color and we’re super healthy, and honestly looked better then pictured. Amazing shop that definitely deserves your business.

    I ordered multiple corals from QCC based on customer reviews. At first, I was disappointed in my original order. Due to various circumstances 3 corals came in in bad condition. However, their customer service is superb. They were quick to respond and made the situation right. I have never experienced such amazing customer service. Thank you so much QCC for taking pride in your product and customer service. I will definitely be a returning customer.

    Super easy website to navigate with good prices. Helpful staff. And my package was delayed by a day because of weather but the corals still came in safe and still warm from the heat pack as well as the packaging was incredible. They took such care with the labeling and packaging, I really appreciate it. My corals are beautiful and all opened up on the first day with no noticeable pests. Thank you QCC team!

  • 5/5 John K. 1 year ago on Google
    I ordered 4 different corals. All arrived very well packaged. Each coral was carefully placed in bags so no damage was done during shipping. One day after adding to the tank all corals are looking healthy and happy. Will definitely be purchasing from here again.

  • 5/5 Melissa K. 1 year ago on Google
    Great selection of Coral! Was delivered quickly and packaging was superb. I dipped all Zoas before placing in my tank and there were zero pests! Thank you!

  • 5/5 Greg C. 1 year ago on Google
    After searching several hours for a place to make my first coral purchase on Black Friday not only did I find a great deal but also great quality corals. Beautiful and very colorful. Very healthy pest free coral. I highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Chad M. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent vendor. Recently purchased a hellfire torch, alveopora, and a few acans. Not only did it all arrive alive and packaged well, but they sent a free coral piece as well. good communication from order to shipment. Couldn't ask for more. I will be ordering again for my next batch!

  • 5/5 Kajon W. 1 year ago on Google
    Corals came fast. Great color and quality . Pictures were as advertised And corals are healthy. I waited about a month to write this review and every coral is doing great will order again in the future.

  • 5/5 Rhayan C. 1 year ago on Google
    Kevin was absolutely awesome! He saw I was interested in one of the torch and text me personally to see if he can help with anything. And I ask him to send me a video and he did. But the fact that he reached out to me was awesome. Best customer service hands down Thanks again Kevin!!!

  • 5/5 Eddie L. 2 years ago on Google
    Ordered a Scoly, it came quickly and was packed very thoroughly. There was also a little freebie in the package! Checked the temps when they arrived and they were perfect and in line with my tank so I was able to drop them right in. Scoly started inflating very soon after adding, and the freebie opened up within minutes. Very happy customer,

  • 5/5 Justin B. 2 years ago on Google
    Phenomenal corals! Kevin reached out to me last week when UPS was having issues with shipments to ask if it was ok to delay the order. I’m so glad to order from someone who cares so much that they reach out to their customers personally to make sure their orders arrive safe and sound. I got my corals today and I couldn’t be happier!! They just boosted my nano reef to a whole new level. I will be ordering from them again very soon hopefully! Highly recommended!
