At JDC Corals, we boast over 20 years of experience in the hobby, driven by a profound love for the ocean, its inhabitants, and, eventually, corals. Our journey began years ago, with Zoanthids capturing our hearts as one of our favorite coral species. As our collection flourished and demand for frags grew, we established a Zoa farm boasting over 300 varieties. Witnessing our corals thrive in the region through partnerships with local stores was immensely gratifying. However, with the onset of COVID-19, unfortunate closures forced us to adapt our model to direct customer sales.
Transitioning to direct-to-customer sales, we expanded our offerings based on customer requests, striving to provide hobbyists in the Carolinas and surrounding areas with exceptional corals at competitive prices. Over the years, we've had the pleasure of meeting incredible individuals and sharing the joy of helping them realize their dream reefs or discover sought-after showpieces.
Driven by our passion and the overwhelming local support, we took a significant step in 2023 by establishing a retail space. This space houses over 1000 corals and encompasses a comprehensive selection of fish, invertebrates, equipment, tanks, chemicals, and food. Our mission remains rooted in delivering outstanding service, meticulous care for our animals and corals, and empowering enthusiasts to embark on their aquatic journey with confidence and excitement.
