Have done a couple trades of Zoas with Brian and everything nice and healthy. He has a nice variety of zoas which can complete anyone’s collection. If anyone is thinking of trading high end zoas hit up Brian I sure he will have what you are looking for.


Thanks for the trades Bro.

Really happy that I got a chance to trade with Brian. Great guy and also has an insane selection of Zoas. For people tha live far away from Oceanside, its worth the trip. Will be doing lots of trades in the future for sure!

Brian is great. Very friendly and it's great to deal with. I got yellow coris wrasse from him that was very healthy and effortable. He threw in a couple of great looking zoas frags which I very much appreciated because he did't have to do it. Great guy.

I got more than some livestock from Brian. We had a great conversation and he is the epitome of the mellow reefer who wants to help anyone in the hobby. I got some healthy livestock from him that is doing great.

This guy is suuuuper cool. he has an immaculate collection of corals, and i've never seen so many zoas in one place. Since i'm just getting started on my coral collection, i had a lot of questions for him and he is full of info and ideas! he's very chill and laid-back, and completely down to help out the new hobbyist or kick back and talk about corals. if you are thinking of buying or making a trade with Brian, i would highly recommend it. everything ive gotten from him is doing great!

Wow! Thank you all very much for the kind words. I remember people talking down to me numerous times when I asked questions as a noob, and also bought questionable stuff. Those were experiences that turned me off of reefing, and I always thought I would never treat people like that. To me this hobby has to be shared and should be a soothing, enjoyable hobby, and I always try to help out and pay it forward, so to speak. Looking forward to many more interactions with all you reefers!

I've dealt with Brian on a few occasions and they have always been excellent transactions. He is a pleasure to deal with, great frags, awesome communication, and the reefing conversations with him are priceless. It's not just a quick sale or trade with Brian. He is somebody who really enjoys the hobby and wants to share his knowledge as well as hear about your system and any advice you might have. Look forward to more rades/purchases in the future.

I made a comment on the chatbox about brian being a scam artist and I guess I forgot to sate it was joke. Brian does nothing but strive to help all of his fellow reefers . He doesn't sell hisstuff to make money he sells andtrades to build the hobby for everyone! A+ Ihave no problems doing business with him!!!

Brian again has proven himself to be a true hobbiest and shown his love for this great hobby. I came to the chatbox and requested donations for a fallen police officer(me being a former police officer) and brian came up with the idea of donating a couple frags which we put up for bid. These frags now sit at $100 dollar bid. I cant thank brian enough for his generous donation and for the bid of TITMouse.

Round two of feedback for me. Been doing a lot of trades with Brian recently and he was awesome. Hooked me up with an unreal frag pack. Like I said before, even if you are far away it is worth the drive. Amazing corals. Thanks again Brian.

Hey brian just wanted to say thanks for the frags. I'll frag you a UC and those others you wanted and leave them on your doorstep haha J/K

What an intense learning experience! 75% of the time I was just soaking in the immensity of his frag collection. The larger frags that I got opened up within 15 minutes. They looked like they'd been in my tank for months. :)

From novice to expert hobbyist, you will find SOMETHING for your tank. Brian offers affordable prices, and is more than happy to give rare advice.
He is a token in the reefer community.

I am beyond stoked to live so close to such a nice guy. I would have traveled a long distance for this kind of experience.

A thousand thanks Brian.

Brian,Thank you so much for everything I’m so happy with all the frags you pulled out of you tank for me this weekend my zoas and palys collection is becoming quite topnotch thanks to you. The only problem with going to your house is it’s so hard to leave I could stare at your tank for days. Everything is doing really good back in my tank, I can’t thank you enough.

P.S I’ll be back soon

Brain is a super cool guy. Picked up some freebies from him yesterday because he said he would rather give a few things away to propagate the hobby then make a profit on them. We showed up and he hooked it up with some awesome frags. While he was fragging, he found a baby brittle and offered it up too. My wife was so excited about that little starfish that I think she may be more into the tank than I am right now.

Brian is a stand up guy and an amazing asset to the San Diego County Reef Community!

I finally got some time to make it up to Brian's awesome house in O-side. I consider myself decently trained in knowing Z's and P's but i kept having to ask him "*** is that!!!!". Brian has some awesome stuff and some really cool morphs. HIs monti selection is out of this world as well.

Great, generous guy. He has bought from me in the past and always shows up when he says he will.

B the food is awesome, fish love it... also thanks for the advice on the new setup would've taken me days to think out how to hang the lights. lol, took him .32 seconds , if you have the opportunity to deal with Brian consider your self a lucky person. the Knowledge in the mans head about the marine ecosystems is infinite. P.S. im noticing that the coraline is coming back slowly since i lowered my light times... but I am 100% sure my ballast is junk thanks B

Just met with Brian today to pick up some of his fish food. Brian went out of his way to package the food in small sample size packages to make it easier for me to feed smaller amounts of food. He also went out of his way to meet me closer to my house. Brian is a great seller and I'm always happy to do business with him!
