Well, some have already responded with their experiences, and imo you will find that most often these are the same people hating to see these fish in the hands of a newbie, let alone an experienced reefer.

I'll add my experience, I have never in my life seen ick like that. (Well, an achilles was a close second.....) I tried a powder blue as a relative newbie to the hobby. As many do. And, no, I did not QT. (However, I don't think ALL fish need quarantine, or necessarily benefit from it....but that is an aside...)

This stuff isn't always about the experienced reefer ....it's about the newbie ...and at least TRYING to save them the same loss experiences, whether they feel that $$wise or whatever works....

It's a good point tho teevee......I have witnessed a powder blue die. If I had a 300g or more that was years old....yeah, I might order one in.
