Haha, those first two, along with Open Oceans are the ones I frequent and they seem to be doing well. When I first got back from MA, they were always empty, never a wait, now, one year later, it's nice to see people in there actually buying things everytime I go.
 
Next time you are in the area, check out Worldwide Corals. That's moving up on my list quickly!
Oh yea, WWC is great for corals and frags, the zoas and some other stuff in my 90gal reef came from WWC. For me though, I definitely lean more to the fish side of the hobby, and WWC's lack of fish for sale is hard reason for me to drive out there. I bet they could make some good money appealing towards the higher-end fish market. Just have a handful or so of rare/exotic fish for sale. But that's definitely why I like Fishy Buz. Outside of stores in Ft. Lauderdale/Miami, where there's a much larger customer base, they always get in a nice selection of fish, always fish that the other guys don't have.

i have 4 LFSs near me so i never have a problem finding what i want (unless its the tail spot blenny ive been wanting for a while now). I have noticed some inverts like tubo snails go up from like 1.50-2.00$ to 3.00$, but ive also seen things like cleaner shrimp go from 30$ to $19.99. The hard part is getting a ride to the stores. (ill be so happy when i can drive, and have a car, and have a job, and have the money for this hobby, and so on and so on)

I went into the only LFS in corpus the other day, and although it wasn't houston nice, is was a good solid offering for a LFS.
Which one, we have 3 actually. Have you been over to GCR yet? Best place for coral by far.

I just got an email from a friend today about a new LFS just opened fairly close so I called and asked about the saltwater section. They have thirty 75 gallon display tanks and a couple large shallow coral tanks. So I will be checking it out later this week and am looking forward to it.

We have a couple of nice LFS's in Phoenix, but a long way from me. I do 95% of my fish stuff online.

One of of mine never really had anything great before, but seems to have less now. Another actually just expanded and has always had the same quality of stuff.
