All About Us

At Lunar Tide Aquatics, every coral begins with a story, not a shipment. This reef isn’t built in a warehouse—it’s grown under our eyes, in systems we design, tune, and obsess over until each frag is ready to thrive in your care. From the glow of the first polyp opening to the satisfaction of seeing your tank come alive, our mission is to make reef-keeping feel exciting, intentional, and accessible.
Lunar Tide was created by reef nerds for reef nerds—the late-night scrollers, the water-test addicts, the hobbyists who plan tank upgrades in their heads on the drive home. We believe the best corals are aquacultured, traceable, and responsibly grown, with clear lineage and honest representations of color. That’s why we focus on curated colonies, meticulous husbandry, and photography that aims for “real reef” instead of filter-heavy fantasy.
Quality and transparency sit at the core of everything we ship. Frags are cut from known, established colonies, healed in controlled systems, and only listed when they meet our standards for health, color, and stability. We share how we grow, how we ship, and how we recommend you acclimate, so you feel confident from “add to cart” to first polyp extension in your tank.
Above all, Lunar Tide Aquatics exists to help you build a reef that feels personal—one that reflects your taste, your patience, and your passion for life under blue light. Whether you’re chasing a signature zoa garden, a stand-out showpiece, or a balanced mixed reef, we’re here as your partner in the process. Every order is more than a box of corals; it’s a small piece of our tide meeting yours.
