    I haven't been to Craig's store, but I've only heard good things about it. I like SOM in North Liberty, he usually has some harder to find fish. The Petco in Coralville is actually not too bad, they had a lot of stock last time I was in and what I looked at was healthy. Haven't been to Coralville Bay in awhile, but the customer service is great and they have the best local deal on salt you can get. Not really in the area, but closer to you, I love Aquatic Environments in the Quad Cities, so clean, nice selection and the people there are very helpful.

    Petco is in Coralville just off 80...There are no good pet stores in Iowa City. Sea of marvel is a great place in North Liberty.
    As for ACC its worth the trip, but get your list ready before you go so you don't leave with out something you really needed.

    You can check out their Facebook page, there's quite a few pictures on there. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Anemones-Clowns-and-Corals/130912553640614?ref=ts

    And it's definitely worth the trip, they have pretty much everything you can imagine, plus they usually keep extra livestock on hand during the cold winter days since everyone pays more attention to their tanks. They quarantine their animals to make sure their healthy, so if there's something you need, give them a heads up and they'll get it quarantined if they don't already have it.

    Depends on what clowns you wanted. But I think I saw prices ranging from ~$25 up depending on the "name" and coloration. These are a little bit larger than what I usually see for sale other places as well. Also these are captive bred. Something that we as hobbyists need to be focusing on more than the sometimes cheaper wild caught specimens.

    AC&C is the best. Craig and his staff go out of there way to help. Craig just delivered me a pair of fancy clownfish to Coralville before the recent meeting. If you make the trip you won't be disappointed.
