A Reef Creation is a local fish store and online livestock vendor specializing in high-end coral located in a suburb of Buffalo, New York.
Pictures and video of them in the process are on the site above. If you can help. Please contact law enforcement.
lol
This has to be the simplest case ever…
How many single early 20 year olds have even set foot in that store…and on top that I didn’t know there a huge market for stolen coral.
Right, I figured this will be and closed case pretty fast with how much they show their face in the video.
I am kinda shocked too there is a market for “high end coral”. Also, what store keeps almost $20,000 in cash somewhere accessible when they are closed? That or this coral is worth a pretty penny since their combined take was $20,000+

“Prices go $50-$200 for tiny pieces” Quoting someone that deals with this place/friends with the owner.
Coral is very expensive though. It is highly illegal to dive and take coral from the sea floor. Not sure how they get their hands on it and turn around to sell it… but its a pricey.
:tup: to having cool IR cameras and no dial out alarm system.
You can get the full IR DVR setup for 200-400 now :lol:
Put together a nice saltwater tank and see how fast this stuff adds up.
And leaving a cinder block near your glass door
:word: A buddy of mine (not involved in this case) has several thousand dollars in live rock, some no bigger than your pinky nail…
they should’ve had some ratchet straps set up.
They’d have a better chance of an ID if they photoshopped two yellow smiley faces on their shoulders.
