OK, got a few for ya depending on how far you want to travel.
Park Ridge "The Living Sea" (Devon and Cumberland) Mundeline/Libertyville "Sho Tank" (rt 45) Fox Lake "Something Fishy" (Rollins rd and Grand Ave) Lake in the Hills "Exotic Aquatics" (Randall Rd, S. of 62) Schaumburg "Advanced Aquatics" (Rosell rd S of Golf rd) Schaumburg "Beyond the Reef" (Rosell rd and Golf Rd) Elburn "A Splash of Life" (Rt. 47, S of rt 38) Crystal Lake "Birds and Beasts" (Virginia ave S of rt 14) To be honest the one in Elburn is unfortunatly the farthest drive, but has by far some of the best corals I've seen, and reasonably good prices. There is one up north of you at Old Orchard, I dont know the name. never been there. Good luck, if you need help finding any one of these get back with us.

i live by living sea, they are very expensive, and they will try to sell you plenty of things you dont need. Coral Reef is a cool place they have good prices but make sure you check the health of their livestock

I agree, living sea is WAY overpriced. IMO, a splash of life has the best looking corals at reasonable prices. Sucks that it's such a drive, but worth it if you're planning on buying a few nice sps'
