That's one problem I have with Safari is that the specimens written on the glass aren't always what is necessarily in the tank and what is in the tank isn't always written on the glass. What I'm trying to say is that they are terrible for keeping their customers informed as to what livestock they currently have and the prices of their stock. They don't update their "glass/livestock advertising" (for lack of a better term) often enough. I find that I'm always asking "What's that?", or, "How much for this?" Even if I bring a book in with me and do IDs myself, I usually still have to ask for a price because what's written on the glass is often out of date and what I am interested in is often not written down. Even the corals...They have their base prices for large and small, but then you still can't be sure and have to ask. Some are larger than large and in a different price range. It also depends if the coral is brightly colored or not. I guess they couldn't write every individual price on the glass for each individual coral, though. You wouldn't be able to see in the tanks. I'd like to see some consistent updates on the fish, though. I hate asking how much something costs. I'd rather see it.

Having said that, it is my favorite LFS, however. I receive excellent "how to" advice from J.
I am loyal to them and I do not shop anywhere else.

JMO and cheers,
