    Tia answered the phone when we called and she provided us with a warm welcoming. When I started asking about the specific Zoanthids we were interested in purchasing, she went and tracked them all down to answer the questions we had about each of them specifically. After explaining our tank situation to Tia, she agreed with us that it was a great time to add corals to the tank and supported our idea of starting out with Zoanthids. She was patient and more then happy to help us understand the entire shipping process and the Dead On Arrival policy they had; we never needed it, but it was great peace of mind to know about it considering how much an order can add up too. The corals were packed snuggly in the Styrofoam box with a heat pack that was still warm the day after unpacking. It took a few hours for most of them to open up, but others took a few days. This was exactly what Tia had explained to me over the phone so I was prepared and monitored them closely for any signs of dying tissue. They are all opening and look healthy. We couldn't be happier. I'll update the post with pictures of what we received. The only thing we regret is not being able to have visited the storefront as we feel we would have been met with the exact same amazing experience, but missed out on the beautiful tanks we see on the Fragbox YouTube channel. Thank you again FragBox for everything, we even appreciated the lovely card and gift you sent as well.

    Changing my review as I had a great experience dealing with these guys. I will say still annoying how fast their stock moves but is what it is.Decent frags. I ordered 10 they came packed perfect and all were healthy. I will say I little small but quality frags. I recommend this place.

    Hands down the best shop for coral in Ontario. Reasonable prices and insane knowledge of the hobby. I haven't yet visited in person but all the staff I've interacted with online have been excellent. Orders have always been packaged incredibly well and have been received promptly. They have a huge range of coral, from beginner friendly stuff to really unique pieces for the high end collectors. They sort and price their corals for display in the store - so you won't end up paying a different cost based on the car you pull up in (unfortunately how it works at many coral vendors) . They also produce "Fragbox TV" on YouTube, which has been really helpful in easing me back into the hobby after a 15 year break. The enjoyment the store and the YouTube channel have provided me really helped to pull me through lockdowns. Thanks to March and his team for getting me excited about the hobby again during a tough year.

    Great store with lots of dry goods, fish, corals you name it. Very helpful and friendly, I strongly suggest checking them out. I originally met them at a frag swap back around 2015 and they were very helpful back then, glad to see they are still around. Also check out their YouTube, Instagram etc for great content..

    This store is amazing, I’m just getting started with my reef tank and ordered a light from here and it arrived quite quickly and it looks great! I love their YouTube channel as well, I’m learning so much about the hobby and I can’t wait to learn more. March is super helpful and you can tell he really cares about his business!

    The store was amazing! Their corals were beautiful, and the customer service was friendly. I highly recommend them. They even gave my son a Fragbox hat for watching their YouTube channel.

    What can ya say about Fragbox. But 100 percent amazing. Nobody can touch his.guarantee. 7 days totally crazy unless you can back it up and March and Tia do that. Must see and must check it out. I have seen some fancy corals but Fragbox takes it one step higher.

    AMAZING store and love the you tube channel ! Our orders always come delivered perfect and fast ! 100% satisfied when ordering online Bought an anemone online years ago and it’s so healthy and happy it hosts our clown fish now :)

  • 5/5 HaiSeng N. 2 years ago on Google
    Great Selection of Corals and the prices are awsome. When you purchase a WYSIWYG it really "What you see"!. Corals arrived fast and was packaged excellent. I got 4 corals and they already opened up within minutes in the tank after acclimation. For sure a repeat buyer as service is Excellent. They have an Great Youtube channel as well with education on corals, equipments, cycling and more. Legit respectable store.

    Fragbox is an absolutely amazing business for anyone in the saltwater aquarium hobby. They are a wonderful resource in answering many of my beginner questions. They have all of the supplies that I need. They ensure quick and safe delivery of corals and livestock, even in our subzero Canadian winters. All of the staff are great to deal with and the level of professionalism is fantastic on every occasion. I highly recommend Fragbox and will continue to do business with them for years to come.

  • 5/5 Chris M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place for hardware, supplies, and of course corals! Extremely friendly and helpful staff, easy to ask questions and bounce ideas of of and non judgmental for people who porch experience in reef keeping. Just keep in mind, they don't carry a lot of live stock and they are more expensive than other places, but the reason for this is they try and aquaculture/breed in captivity so the oceans are not affected. Highly recommend over all and much prefer supporting small business! You guys (live) rock!

    Great service for coral shipping. Arrived healthy as expected. Clean and pets free, definitely will shop again.

  • 5/5 Joe H. 2 years ago on Google
    My Order was processed quickly and was checked for accuracy before shipping out. All of my ordered corals were shipped very well and all arrived quickly and in excellent condition. All of them opened up within hours of being put into my tank which speaks to their condition. I will defiantly order again.

  • 5/5 Devin I. 1 year ago on Google
    Great selection of coral! Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Ordered my first corals off their website, they shipped same day and arrived the next. Order was securely packed and all the coral I ordered arrived safely and in good health. WYSIWYG photos match the coral I received which is awesome. They also have a great YouTube channel with tons of information

  • 5/5 Calin A. 1 year ago on Google
    Great customer service. First time I ordered with Fragbox. The shipment arrived on time, however both my corals were DOAs. I contacted Fragbox and they shipped me replacements as per their policy (free of charge and no questions asked). The replacement corals are currently doing fine in my tank. I'm not sure if I was dealing with the same person both times, but each time they were very helpful over the phone as well as in their email messages.

  • 5/5 Brandon W. 1 year ago on Google
    I have nothing but great this to say about Fragbox. I have now ordered from them 3 times and everything has arrived in great condition. Their care when it comes to packing the livestock is fantastic very secure double boxed and shipped with heating packs that are still warm upon arrival. I absolute love there YouTube channel it has been a well of great information. Looking forward to getting out to their store in person next summer. I will be ordering from them again in the near future. Look no further than the folks at Fragbox for all your saltwater needs you won't be disappointed!!!

    Overall a great experience. Called to say I was going to reach a little later than closing and the employee assured me that my product would still be able to be picked up when I called. Upon arrival the transaction was quick and easy. Dylan the employee, answered all my questions and even let me take a walk around the store despite technically being closed. Worth the over 2 hour drive!

  • 5/5 VLNTNO S. 10 months ago on Google
    Just came in for the first time yesterday and I must say I’m absolutely amazed at the quality of their livestock and corals. All of the staff was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, great pricing and great customer service. 10/10 experience I will definitely be coming here on a regular.

  • 5/5 Cody H. 10 months ago on Google
    Very clean store. Corals are gorgeous. They have a great selection of clean up crew. From beginners to pros, they will have what you need. But most of all, their customer service is really good. You can tell they actually care about their customers and not just trying to make a sale. Recommend 100%

  • 5/5 P P. 1 year ago on Google
    Great customer service. Was looking for a some parts for quite sometime now but March got it done within couple of days. Also, purchased corals and fish particularly a Captive Yellow tang from them very healthy and quality livestock. They go above and beyond to provide a awesome service. Wonderful team, keep up the good work. Always a first stop for my reef needs. Thanks.

  • 5/5 Adam M. 11 months ago on Google
    It's been almost 10 years (July 2014) since I first ordered from Fragbox, back when March was the only one answering emails. He took amazing care of me then and since. Great corals, great prices. I guess it's time to order again...

  • 5/5 james s. 1 year ago on Google
    they really care about the corals and products. I live out in the country and they contacted me that the shipping would take too long and that it wouldn't be the best for the corals and would refund my order. they could have easily just shipped them and got their money and be done. instead they worked with me and I got it shipped to the biggest city closest to me. it arrived the next day all the corals in my order looked great. packaging was good, corals and the water were nice and warm. I'm new to reef keeping but for my first online coral order I was very pleased with everything. their YouTube is also great for fuelling the reefing obsession and is very informative for new reefers. will definitely be ordering from fragbox again!

  • 5/5 Matthew W. 2 years ago on Google
    Normally don't leave a review. I am very cautious where to spend my hard earned money. Everything arrived alive! Next day. Still thriving two weeks later. Issue with the other guys is, quality. You are going to pay a bit more but! You are going to have a forever piece vs a frag that may take. Thank you. I greatly appreciate the opportunity to find my forever shop! Customer for life!

  • 5/5 Northside M. 2 years ago on Google
    Professional Colorful Passionate Considerate The team, the animals and the hardgoods they sell are top notch, experts in every corner. The business is a wealth of knowledge and passion. Product recommendations with experience and conviction, 5 star business, You would be crazy to go anywhere else. treats every customer with equal respect, regardless if you're spending $10.00 or $10,000.00.

  • 5/5 Josh H. 2 years ago on Google
    I have ordered corals and inverts from here numerous times. They have great selection and very reasonable prices. Livestock/coral are very well packaged and shipped promptly. Customer service is excellent and responsive and they honour their DOA guarantee. I would highly recommend considering Frag Box for your coral, livestock and supplies.

  • 5/5 Theodore A. 2 years ago on Google
    Everything I’ve gotten has been 100% except I dipped my two acrops before letting them relax and they died from (RTN) read up on it even fragbox website says not to dip(that’s where I learned) but RTN(rapid tissue necrosis) was a bad thing… lol love and learn glad I didn’t buy the Disney frag yet… one day guys keep loading me up with your amazing reliable products

  • 5/5 Damien D. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent shipping methods and very reasonable pricing along with great selection, definitely ordering again!

  • 5/5 Simon N. 3 years ago on Google
    Absolutely stellar service and corals! Have been getting my pieces from Fragbox for the past 2 years, and have been more than satisfied with every order! Got my first corals here, and have been regularly ordering with Fragbox since! Fragbox has an amazing variety of corals available, catering to every level of reef hobbyist! Whether you're just a beginner looking for some hardy "starter corals", or a seasoned veteran hunting for some more intermediate sps species, they got it all! Can't forget to mention their plethora of dry goods either! Staying up to date with the latest gear to help keep our tanks looking fresh, and operating in optimal conditions! While Fragbox has an amazing track record of being one of the best stores to get corals shipped to your door, nothing really beats being on site and seeing their operation in person! Very clean store and systems, with a team that is very knowledgeable and eager to help! Definitely one of the first reef stores that come to mind, when people ask me for recommendations!

  • 5/5 Andreas N. 2 years ago on Google
    I just wanted to say off the bat that you guys are amazing. A couple days ago my mom ordered a couple corals for me in exchange for work at the farm. We ordered a gsp and an armor of god frag. we were called and told that the armor of god melted and they would be sending an Utter chaos, (which was way above my budget) for no extra cost. not only did they do that but they sent a free coral frag (Which is yet to he identified, but is very colorful, even if half open). On top of that, they gave me a coupon for 50% off shipping on my next order. I cannot thank you enough.

  • 5/5 Kruno M. 2 years ago on Google
    I ordered a clean up crew for my aquarium which included some Emerald, as well as Hermit crabs and snails. The shipment came promptly, all the invertebrates were alive and as soon as I finished my drip acclimation, placed them in the tank they started eating which is a great sign. I will order from them again for sure. The shipping being prompt was great as I didn't have to drive into the city.

  • 5/5 Hank W. 2 years ago on Google
    Very informative and friendly. Received my first order and everything was great! Filling out my next order now!

  • 5/5 Emily P. 2 years ago on Google
    my corals/crabs were shipped promptly, well-packed, excellent condition - great quality and great customer service, definitely will be going back

  • 5/5 Ross M. 2 years ago on Google
    I had just recently got back into the saltwater fish hobby and never had coral's before and I bought one and I was hooked. My Dad told me about Fragbox.ca and I went to the site and ordered some corals and later set up a bigger saltwater tank and ordered some fish. I must say the packaging is top notch, shows they really care about the safety of their fish and coral's. I will be a loyal customer for years to come. Fragbox is the greatest.

  • 5/5 Terence F. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent shop to purchase corals. Probably the best store in all of Canada. They are extremely quick to ship, corals are the best I have seen in terms of quality, size and color. The shipping process and how they pack live goods is very protective and their prices are very reasonable. Love this place!

  • 5/5 Camille B. 2 years ago on Google
    Best store in the city! The staff is very educated and helpful. Quality of the their corals, shrimp, snails etc are beautiful. We’re always going in to check what new in the shop because they get some amazing stunning colourful gems!

  • 5/5 Brandon M. 2 years ago on Google
    I live in London which is 2 hours away from Fragbox and yet every single coral in my tank is from them. Absolutely hands down best coral/saltwater store in Canada, staff are awesome and extremely knowledgeable and display tanks are out of this world, as for shipping packs are always still warm and corals are happy every time 10/10

  • 5/5 Kathy B. 2 years ago on Google
    I had the pleasure of dealing with March (the owner) and Tia. They were both a pleasure to deal with. The store is small but well stocked. I would highly recommend this shop.

  • 5/5 David K. 2 years ago on Google
    Just received my frag and invert order and was very happy with quality of livestock and great packaging. Corals were size and quality expected and they are now acclimated and in my main tank opening nicely! A big thanks to all the Fragbox Staff for their professionalism and helpful advice! Definitely one of my favorite reef stores.

  • 5/5 Yannic M. 2 years ago on Google
    Received my hermit crabs, Zoa and snails in perfect shape. Package was well done, well isolated and still warm upon arrival. I recommend to everyone looking for fast and safe shipping

  • 5/5 pAul. N. 2 years ago on Google
    corals came in very nice and healthy, tons of beautiful specimens. They replaced my frag when it died on arrival. Great services, great staffs. I highly recommend this place for anyone that just start to get into the hobby as well as long time reefers as well.

  • 5/5 Jeff D. 2 years ago on Google
    Awesome experience ordering from this store. Order was delivered quickly and all corals and snails arrived in perfect shape. I was really impressed with how nicely they packaged and labeled everything and how it was all shipped in a Styrofoam box. Can't wait to order again!

  • 5/5 Vincent B. 2 years ago on Google
    Another great experience with Fragbox. I ordered a pump that was DOA on arrival. Fragbox was quick to resolve the situation and took care of me. Ordered livestock in the past as well and always a great transaction. highly recommended! Thanks again

  • 5/5 Adrianna K. 1 year ago on Google
    I love this reef store. Definitely the best in Ontario! Customer service never disappoints. They always take the time to read the order notes and fulfil requests as requested by customers! 5 stars!

  • 5/5 Chris B. 1 year ago on Google • 1 review
    I’ve orders from this store a handful of times now, and both dry goods and livestock have been a great experience. Even corals that arrived not in the best shape, they handled quickly and appropriately with store credit. This place is my only go-to online coral shopping in Canada.

    I find that this store is really fair with prices compared to other stores and I love the free strawberry shortcake I got. The only complaint I would make is that the bathrooms are not open for public so make sure that you have a place to go for the bathrooms. Otherwise, it would be a perfect store. I also like the display tanks

  • 5/5 J A S. 2 months ago on Google • 1 review New
    Everything arrived safely and happy. Delivery was quick, customer service was top notch. Packaging was tidy and well-secured. We look forward to doing further business with them in the future!!! Thanks for the bonus frag!!!!
