    I have been working with Danny and Navid for a while now even before the store opened. The education they give and the quality of their corals are the best in San Diego. I started in the hobby over a year ago and the things i know now came from the quality of service they give. Both are very friendly and easy work with and make sure the customers are guided how to take care of the corals they are buying. Thanks for all your help and support!!

    Once again I have to give Danny another Badass review!!! His customer service is top notch and he went above and beyond to help me choose the best coral for my wife's birthday. Living miles away its hard to trust a vendor and their product but I don't have to worry about that with Danny!! He took the time to send me videos of all the different coral I was interested in until I new what I wanted. I also have peace of mind knowing that my precious package will arrive perfectly shipped. His attention to ensure that the coral arrived safely is always top notch. You have my business for Life Danny!!! Thank You, Thank You!!!

    Danny is one of the best human beings in this business! Iโ€™ve ordered from KFC several times and I always get such amazing looking specimens that arrive fast and healthy. Danny always takes care of me and throws in extras to compensate for the shipping. If youโ€™re out of state and need a good high end coral vendor at very fair prices, trust me and go with KFC!

    I had an absolutely phenomenal experience recently with Kungfu Corals. They were quick to respond to any inquiries I had and I was blown away by the shear health and vibrancy of the corals I received. I have ordered from a ton of online vendors but they are by far one of my favorites and I would recommend them to anyone looking to add some ๐Ÿ”ฅ to their interpretation of the reef. I will for sure be placing an order with them in the future.

    I was visiting San Diego from Florida and made a special trip to Kung Fu Corals. I was so impressed with the store, the coral and with the owner Dan. He gave me a tour of his facility and spent a lot of time with me. I purchased and used his KFC dip and it saved 2 of my favorite corals! Next time I am in town I will definitely go back.

    Danny is an amazing help when it comes to reef tanks. Very knowledgeable and good prices. I've been a loyal customer of his for years, even before he opened up a shop. The staff is never rude. When it comes to asking what could be foreseen as a "dumb question" they answer in a respectful manner and don't make you feel stupid or like you're wasting their time.... unlike the staff in some other fish stores. Anyways, it's a great shop. Highly highly recommend.

    Kung Fu Corals is THE place for healthy and STUNNING corals! Not only is the customer service experience amazing! But Danny the owner and his associate are always very helpful and very hands on! Everything we've purchased from him has survived and is thriving! ๐Ÿ™Œ I highly recommend them! They are by far the best in SD prices are very reasonable and he has just about anything ๐Ÿ˜Š I love Kung Fu Corals!

    Danny is the man. Not only does he have great corals, especially torches, but he has A+++ customer service. Heโ€™s always willing to help me shop virtually and does a legit job finding the best healthy coral. This is so key if you are spending for the top notch piece. Iโ€™ve spent a good chunk through KFC and donโ€™t regret a penny. Unlike other shops that pump out hot photos of corals and you end up disappointed, I am always more than surprised with what I get. Plus, his KFC dip has helped save my torches in times of disaster. ๐Ÿ‘

    Best coral shop in SD and they are still expanding and growing their shop! This place will take over the industry in a massive way.

    We 1st met Danny and Navid at the West Coast Coral Farmets market in Anaheim in June of 2020. Our 2 year old at that time (almost 3) impressed them so much with his knowledge of corals that they gave him a free mushroom! He picked an orange one because orange is his favorite color and they didn't expect us to buy anything in return! Fast forward to now, we've purchased from Kung Fu Corals 3 or four times and all the corals are always super healthy. Never had any issues with any of them even when our tanks are going through some type of issue and other corals are dying off. We love stopping by their store in SD any time we take a trip down there since we live in LA. I highly recommend these guys and will continue to support them as they grow their business!

    I've used lots of coral vendors, and I wish that wasn't the case now that I've shopped with Kung Fu Corals - because they are simply the best. As reef tank owners - we prioritize different things in coral from appearance, to health, to price point, Kung Fu Corals is simply the BEST in all of these categories! I haven't received more beautiful, healthy, or affordable corals from any other vendors in my time reefing. Thanks Danny - you have a customer for life.

    I normally don't leave reviews but after working with Danny to put together a coral pack I felt like I had to let people know how awesome of an experience. When buying corals online you run the risk of getting unhealthy backroom chopshop pieces. Definitely not the case with KFC. Every piece blew expectations out of the water. Can't say enough about the corals and talking to Danny was just the same. Definitely have a repeat customer

    Iโ€™ve recently purchased some corals from Kung Fu Corals and everything looks super nice and healthy. Danny is very helpful. Excellent customer service and I highly recommend shopping at this place. Donโ€™t forget to check them out on instagram @KungFuCorals

    Picked up a beautiful torch! Great customer service and very easy to talk to and willing to answer any questions you have not matter what time it is. Very healthy coral and canโ€™t wait to order from them again.

  • 5/5 Bryan A. 9 months ago on Google
    This an excellent shop! All of the corals I received have awesome color. They have affordable prices and the owner Danny was very responsive. Definitely will buy from here again. Corals were also packed extremely well!

    Kung Fu Corals is one of the best in the industry hands down. Always the best shopping experience and the best customer service you can ask for ! Everything arrives looking bright and as pictured on there website or Instagram. Always looking to bring the best to you ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ”ฅ Thank you Danny and team for all the hard work and always make me a happy customer ๐Ÿ™

    I normally do not write reviews but felt that I needed to so people don't miss out on what an incredible establishment Danny has. If you are looking for healthy and amazing corals, fish and all things saltwater, Kung Fu Corals is the place to go. KFC never disappoints and brings nothing but quality and high end service. I've been buying from Danny for years now and my experiences have always been stellar.

    10 STAR PLUS experience from start to finish, highly highly recommend! Kung Fu Corals takes you to the next level!! Extraordinary, Top Shelf color and health, it is clear that Danny takes great pride in offering the very best. I ordered three high end torch colonies and was stunned to receive such gorgeous, enormous and super healthy pieces, WOW!! Incredible color, fat fat, margins beautifully grown, and meticulously, cared for!! Packaged with great care, these torches arrived open and ready to be dipped. They were perfectly clean, but I wasn't surprised... this is the kind of perfection you should expect from Kung Fu, and I would expect no less from the inventor of the KFC dip! If you are lucky enough to receive Kung Fu Corals, you are lucky indeed! THANK YOU DANNY and KFC!! You have a forever loyal customer in me!

    Had a great experience talking with Danny. He set me up with some snails for my newly cycled tank. Picked up a Damsel also. I canโ€™t wait to come back for some corals. They looked so healthy and beautiful.

  • 5/5 Ronald T. 1 year ago on Google
    Yet again I have had a great purchasing experience with this company. The team over at Kung Fu Corals are hands down one of the most caring aquarium staff Iโ€™ve had the pleasure of dealing with. They will always follow up on any issues accordingly. The coral is packed well in cups and has never arrived with pests, DOA or not as it appeared online. Thank you Glenn and Danny that always help me out, you will forever have my business.

  • 5/5 Tyler D. 1 year ago on Google
    My favorite shop in San Diego for all my coral needs (aka addiction lol). Danny is super knowledgeable and always willing to give advice. He even went out of his way to help us hold our livestock and take over a fully cycled 120 gal so that we didnโ€™t lose anything. Oh.did I mention the quality of coral here? Itโ€™s top notch๐Ÿ’ฏ do yourself a favor and go see Danny for all your reefing needs!

  • 5/5 john g. 1 year ago on Google
    The thought of San Diego having one of the most premier coral stores is unbelievable. Danny and his staff are some of the best in the biz. Very knowledgeable and friendly with any questions you have! Have purchased some of my tanks most stunning corals from here! Highly recommended!

    Danny is the man! I live in the bay and purchased online. Danny was kind enough to hold my torches and drive them up for pick-up at a local show to help me save on shipping costs. When I picked up, they were perfectly packed with care and fluffed up wonderfully as soon as I added them to my tank. Super happy with my purchase and the customer service provided as well as the variety of corals available.

  • 5/5 Jeff W. 1 year ago on Google
    I have been in the hobby for a while and always went to the same place or two for years... Today I thought I would expand my horizons, and I couldn't be happier. The corals are unreal! The colors, rarity, healthy, and are displayed perfectly. The guy that helped me was so personable and took extra time showing me things and explaining where they came from how to care for them. The prices were fair as well!! All of this was new to me. I left with a variety of unusual colorful corals. I will be back, I will bring my wife. She needs to see what we have been missing
