Hi, I'm going to visit Singapore next week and would like to buy some fish and soft corals. is there a market ( like thailand's Jatujak) or a street where there are lots of marine shops?

Thanks Siddharth.

You could go to the coral farms at Pasir Ris Farmway, Golden Octopus at Upper Serangoon, Reborn at Lavender etc.

thanks a lot Teebs. One last question. Would you happen to know how much corals (like clove, hammer, torch, green stars) approximately cost in Singapore?

Thanks Siddharth.

for the cheaper hammers, cloves, Green star polyps you can get them as low as SGD$10 - 15 for frags the size of a fist.

Premium coral like some florida ricordia, acans or some SPS can go as high as several hundred dollars per polyp or for a small colony.

Good places to visit are Coral Farm, Reborn, Golden Octopus.

There is no one place where there are a high concentration of shops unfortunately, but Singapore is also pretty small, and the shops are at the most 30 - 45 minutes apart by taxi.
