Why Dust Bowl you may ask? The name was born on the nickname of Bakersfield, CA, which was a major destination for migrant workers fleeing the drought-stricken Great Plains, particularly from Oklahoma and Texas.  

Founded in 2025, Dust Bowl Corals was born out of a passion for reef keeping and a commitment to providing high-quality corals at affordable prices. As a family-owned and operated business, we prioritize customer satisfaction and take pride in our personalized approach to coral selection and care.

Though we may be small in operation, our dedication runs deep. Whether you're searching for vibrant SPS, lush LPS, or flowing soft corals, we offer a diverse selection to suit every aquarium enthusiast. Looking for something unique? We specialize in special orders ranging from mild to wild, ensuring you find the perfect addition to your reef.

At this time, we operate exclusively online and provide hand delivery, but we look forward to expanding in the future to offer in-person shopping opportunities. For those not in the area, shipping is available. In the meantime, our commitment to top-tier customer service remains unwavering—we’re here to support fellow hobbyists, helping you create thriving underwater ecosystems with confidence.

Welcome to the family—we’re excited to be a part of your reef journey!
