Main Line Coral Gardens is a saltwater aquarium shop in the Great Valley Shopping Center on Lancaster Avenue in Malvern. If you are looking for dog or cat food, this is not that kind of pet store. If you keep a reef tank, it is the closest specialist inside the delivery zone.
The store
It is at 81 Lancaster Avenue, Store #2, on the ground floor, and it gives its own directions plainly: "We are located in the top corner of the shopping center, facing Rt30." The opening hours are short and worth writing down, because the shop is closed both Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday is 2pm to 6pm, Thursday and Friday are noon to 6pm, and the weekend is the long stretch, 10am to 6pm on both Saturday and Sunday. Contact is 484-301-5885 or info@mainlinecoralgardens.com. Reviewers on its Google listing consistently name Justin as the person behind the counter.
What they carry
The shop states its purpose narrowly: it is "dedicated to providing the Greater Philadelphia region with a source of quality aquacultured corals and captive-bred saltwater fish." Aquacultured and captive-bred are the operative words there, and they are the reason a lot of reef keepers drive past a general aquarium shop to get here. Customers describe the draw as the coral selection, small reef fish and invertebrates. The business has also said it plans to launch a WYSIWYG online store, meaning you buy the exact colony pictured rather than a representative photo. There is no dog or cat retail, no grooming and no small animals.
Hours, parking and getting in
Closed Monday and Tuesday. The Great Valley Shopping Center has a large shared lot and the unit faces Route 30, so it is an easy in and out with a bucket. Confirm hours before driving over, because the posted week is short and an unplanned closure costs you the trip.
Nearby
