I actually got lucky, lol...They were breaking the tank apart and happened to be in the area. They weren't going to sell him, but since they know me already I convinced them; paid $110, which I thought was a good deal being that it's a show size.

They have two 125 coral tanks with MH lighting and have nothing in them anymore, all there coral is dying. There main fish guy is an extremely nice friendly guy who seems new to the saltwater game, but always greets me (unlike fishtown). They do however get really cheap anemones and I got a great green carpet for 50$ Ive had for a couple years, but they need there oldstaff back bad!

I was there today (twice) I live a few blocks from there. I rarely get livestock from there but I get most of my food and salt there. They got a large delivery of livestock today but they diden't open the boxes yet so I can't comment on the stuff.

They first had a store in Bethpage,NY called PETS. Shortly after the New Hyde Park store opened the Bethpage store closed. When I went to the bethpage store years ago before the NHP store they had a worse saltwater section then they currently have.

And Yes they have the worlds greatest collection of Aiptasia

Since I live around the block from there and I want them to stay in business being so convenient for me does anyone have any recomendations for them? I will pass it on to the owner. My problem with them is that they always have the same stock. I need more unusual livestock. I also look for more diverse corals and of course less aiptasia. They have many salt tanks some of which have been empty for over a year..
