Why is he being flamed so badly for throwing out a friendly warning? I for one, (had I not already known this) would be very thankful.

Sure, do your homework.. but what's done is done. He's just throwing out a friendly heads up , as stated.

i have one and know.

thanks for the warning, I did not know this. I

Sorry Nail, wasn't at all meaning to flame you - just sharing my experience. It could of course be that the SH was not eating anything that caused a reaction in my tank or it could also be that my tank is 230g and I got the SH out of the anemone right away before it could release a whole lot of ink (looked like lots though - they really spit it out). Anyway thanks for the warning and I think a lot of people, including me, didn't know. Your heads up may very well help me or other people in the future.

Thanks for the heads up. Other's should not flame you for letting others know because it was obviously a "heads up." Sorry if you took my posting to be a negative or flame. Appreciate the general warning, whether or not I knew the facts about seahares & their purple "ink".

Don't think I'm ever going to need a sea hare, knock on wood, but thanks for the information :smile:

I as well was not trying to flame, more then trying get people to research what you buying, almost everything has some risk, i am sure we all could fill this board with warnings about the living organisms within our tanks

This was my intention as well and I don't think my posts were "flames". I find it makes much more sense to post a link or comprehensive reference when doing something like this. IMO the original post was missing a crucial bit of information (diet). By referencing the original material you can avoid confusion.

who's flaming? all people are saying is it's your own responsibility to do the research into whats being purchased not the stores.

Oh man, flamed... such a powerful word on the boards. You know what I meant, everyone just started to kinda give him a hard time about it. When after all he's just throwing out a friendly heads up.

Next time I'll choose my words more carefully.
