oh! those anemones....
something to think about is that, it is a shop, not a zoo... i totally agree that a shop should provide suitable environment for livestock, but to what extent?? proper salinity, lighting, currents, protein skimming i think,
we are not importing them to put into a tank for 5-6 years... things have to remember is the rate they are selling at, and also available space for anemones in a shop. from our experience, the amount of time each anemone in our shop is between 1-7 days. IMO, the stinging do not take long enough to harm anemones. (we have not seen anemones dying in our store in that system).. and if you ever take up diving into the tropics, anemones are somehow aggregates together as well.
anyway, if space is available, as we are renovating, and building new stocking tanks, we can certainly do that.
something for your thinking, if a shop can retify every little things for customer without looking at reality such as cost and benefit analysis, would that be nice?? it will be like looking at a world where no tax, free education and transport, welfare (all in the good names in providing nice environment for us to live)... will anyone open a store without thinking about cost??
something to think about
Cheers
