Pet store Aquarium shop Aquatic center Marine supply store

👍👍 I've been keeping marines for many years - however in that time I have never bought corals online and had them shipped because I'd heard many horror stories of corals turning up dead or totally different to the pictures you'd based your purchase on. Well, that changed last week when I ordered three... People often mention corals, shop, knowledgeable, great, friendly, Scott, selection, staff, visit, coral,

    Future Frags is definitely the best shop I've been to in years, full of high quality corals, 1000's of frags, and all at great prices. The staff were excellent in there service and knowledge. I highly recommend Future Frags to anyone.

    Wow what a gem, can't wait to come back. A group of us came up from the south west to visit some other reefing shops and we were not disappointed. The selection of corals was exceptional, the prices were great and the warm and friendly welcome was much appreciated. This is a shop run by enthusiasts and it shows, I'm already planning my next visit. Thanks for the hospitality

    Great family run shop unlike some of the larger franchises let's just say I drove from Hull and wasn't disappointed the coral I ordered from the website was as pictured and not filtered to death some of the corals I've only ever seen online. First time going and was made to feel like a regular will defo be saving up some more money for my next trip in a month or so 110% recommend popping in and seeing what corals they have for sale 🔥🔥🔥

    If you havnt visited this shop then no matter where you live take the trip. This is a true hidden Jem in the marine world. Some of the stock in this shop is second to none and the quality of the shop itself is outstanding. A family run shop that makes you feel welcome from the minute you walk in the door. Keep it up guys.

    Seven of us made our first visit to Future Frags yesterday (I came from Stratford, most of the guys were from Gloucestershire) and we did a bit of a road trip. Went to both Future Frags and another well known marine shop in Stoke and they were world’s apart - I won’t comment about The other but we were made to feel incredibly welcome by Scott and the FF team, really friendly, very knowledgable, great coffee haha. Prices are fair and will do deals if you are buying a few bits and quite a lot of interesting corals you won’t see elsewhere, more a coral place than fish, great stock although less so if you are pure acro (though they do a special order list for those). 100% worth the trip, will definitely be back, only one of our group didn’t walk out with bags and that’s only because he doesn’t have a tank running at the moment. Thanks guys!

    Just an incredible place. Try not to judge before you get there, the surrounding buildings are rough around the edges (but I didn't go there for the scenery). Once you're inside and upstairs WoW what a selection. Very knowledgeable and approachable owners/staff. Open to doing g a deal and corals in there that remind you of an acid trip. Will definitely visit again !

    One of my favourite shops. Staff very knowledgeable and helpful. Friendly atmosphere. Great selection of corals. Managed to get a decent discount on my first corals. Worth a drive from Nottingham. Cheers

    my FAVOURITE place to get coral, super knowledgeable staff and always up for a laugh and a chat. best kinds of people and an amazing business that really cares about their tanks and yours. super rare to find such a place🥰

  • 5/5 danny c. 3 years ago on Google
    Easy to say that his corals are absolutely ridiculously insane, as well as being a top bloke and let’s be honest that goes a long way in this hobby. Received a few corals from Scott (delivered) and always have come very well packed, and been more than pleased every time. I know several people personally that have bought from him and are also happy, his selection especially of chalices are insane. 100% buy again and again.

  • 5/5 Katie H. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent place, loads of stock, the owner is very knowledgeable and helpful and all reasonably priced for such high quality corals. Wouldn’t go anywhere else!

    First visit today. WOW! Some stunning corals. Really friendly and helpful (with great coffee 😉) What more could you want! Looking forward to my next vist👍

  • 5/5 Ashley C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great little shop! Beautiful clean display tanks, not full of algee and aphasia like most of the other shops around. Decent range of coral and decent prices. Owners were sound as a pound, couldn't be anymore helpful.

  • 5/5 Mark C. 1 year ago on Google
    Stunning shop! Tanks, corals, fish are all immaculate, little gem of a place. Visited for the first time today to collect an online order, this will now be my go to place for everything Marine. Nothing is too much trouble and by speaking to them you can tell just how much they love there work. Can't recommend them highly enough

    An amazing shop with stunning stock. Wish i'd visited this place ages ago. Scott and Emma were very welcoming and i'll be coming back for more amazing corals :-)

  • 5/5 Chris P. 2 years ago on Google
    Popped in to what will be the reptile shop but we were a few weeks early as they were only just setting up. Had a walk through to the aquatics though, lovely display, tanks looks really clean and bright. Everyone was really friendly and up for a chat in both the aquatics and what will be the reptile shop too. We will no doubt be back in a couple of weeks.

    Sorry but is this place EVER open? Different opening times in different places but none of them ever seem right. Done with it now, never going here again wasting my time this clown owes me probably £50 in diesel for all the wasted trips what a joke

  • 5/5 Craig W. 2 years ago on Google
    Future Frags have supported me for a number of years as a marine hobbyist. As a family run business, whether they have provided fish; coral or equipment, they have always gone the extra mile to help. This I haven't found with other establishments. All the best to future endeavours! 🐠

  • 5/5 Wayne F. 3 years ago on Google
    The best shop in Stoke, maybe the best shop in the country. Absolutely rammed with high end corals, as well as a fantastic selection for beginners. Tanks are spotless, staff are knowledgeable, can’t rate this place highly enough. Keep up the good work!

    I've been keeping marines for many years - however in that time I have never bought corals online and had them shipped because I'd heard many horror stories of corals turning up dead or totally different to the pictures you'd based your purchase on. Well, that changed last week when I ordered three frags from Scott that he'd shared pictures of on Facebook. When they arrived they were exactly as pictured and very healthy. Packaging was great. Communications have been excellent. Will definitely buy from Scott again.
