Yeah, wow they do get massive. I definitely think it should be a "leave it in the ocean" fish. Anywhoo, I am going to contact the LFS first thing in the morning to see what I can do about this.

In Asia, I think those are considered food fish, not ornamentals

Scott, its funny that you posted that...
About 3 months ago, I made the exact same purchase... Was told, gentle, good for my reef tank, all this stuff. then I talked to Albert, read the book at golds, and went back for store credit. Its good of you to post this, because hopefully newer people will do some research, and come back the next day if they really want the fish. Ty

Hah! I got you beat on impulse buying, Scott. Not that this is a good thing, though
 Several years ago, we bought this really cool looking 12" fluorescent orange worm-thing. The store didn't have any info on it and when we got back home, we did not or could not (don't remember which) find any info on the net for it. Long story short, it lasted about 5 months. Then one day it died, but we didn't know it. But our large fish sure did. They dropped like flies because of some toxin it released after death  Lost our beloved marine betta along with a few other really great fish.Now, we don't buy anything exotic, and research the heck out of a new addition before buying. If there is a fish at a lfs that looks cool, we ask to look it up in the books. Just this week, we saw a great looking fish that sort of looked like a moorish idol, but wasn't. Turned out that the fish grows to 13", is very shy and likes to hide in caves most of the time. Thank goodness for research!

 A week ago I inquired about one of those fish, and after hearing what they are like I decided not to tempt fate.
