Naesco, you have no right whatsoever to tell anyone what they should and shouldnt keep...let alone what a business like JL can and cant bring in.

Do you exclusively keep aquacultured specimens in your tank?
If the answer is anything but yes, you should wipe the egg off your face, take that stupid hat of that fish and focus all this time and attention on actually making a difference somewhere, rather than hypocritically making yourself feel like you are any bette than the rest of us when it comes tot he destruction of the reefs and ocean ecosystems.

Here we go again :-). I think we are all guilty unless we don't have saltwater tank.

No egg on anyone's face for stating the truth and trying to inform people on making the right decision not to keep an animal that has a very poor survial history. Naesco isn't acting like he's better then anyone else he's just trying to keep others informed, and personally, I believe naesco is making an important difference by keeping newbies and others educated and informed on hard to care for fish and by letting people know about the proper tank environments to keep fish in.

Personally I am grateful naesco has the guts to still inform others about these things dispite the people who ridicule him for it.

It's just the way he goes about it that bothers people.
