No such thing. You can't verify this. It's buyer beware!

Acropora Eating FlatWorms.

This was discussed a number of years ago. I believe the concensus was that we had no way of verifying peoples' claims. That discussion was a long time ago though amd I don't remember for sure. If I get sme time in the next week I'll try to dig it up.

There have been a number of people over the years that have been banned as the result of poor "business ethics" such as those who scam members. I think selling Acros with a known AEFW infestation is pushing that boundary for sure.

Acropora eating flatworms.

Well, now I know why I was asked if I have coral dip when buying a frag at the LFS on Sunday :rolleyes:

Keeping the name hidden is just lame, I guess all acro buyers and sellers in the lower mainland are screwed now, just like grade four class all over again when someone wouldn't fess up to making fart noises behind the teachers back :rolleyes:.

I do believe Jess when he says he's good to go though.

Acro eating flat worms. Anything is possible.

I think without a doubt that this qualifies as bad business ethics.

This actually will affect everyone from BC trying to sell their frags on Buy/Sell section..... just saying.

Yes because only BC has AEFW. Don't kid yourself.
The intent of post was to make everyone aware that there is a seller selling infected corals and that buyer should beware and dip.

And yes, it would be ethical for him to stop selling until he has eradicated them from his system. But to suggest that nobody is going to buy corals from BC because they have AEFW is just ignorant. No nicer way to say it, sorry.

No. I did not mean it that way. Sure there AEFW everywhere. but poeple such as myself who many time purchases frags from Greater Vancouver area, will need to really think if 'this' person is the one you mentioned.

I apologize if it came out the wrong way. :(

I don't even buy frags if I know they come from a tank that has brynopsis. Buying online is basically base on trust.

...or you could pm the OP to spill the beans on who the offender is.

Yes. :idea:

I think this is definitely an issue everyone in the hobby is affected by and not just localized.
