Just be prepared to get flatworms. The acro kind, as I've heard 2 people already say they got em from them (hearsay), and the regular kind, as you can see them all over the tanks!

You're completely right, they must be quarantined, but even then you're not completely sure. Best thing is to get corals from somewhere you're pretty sure is parasite free, dip em, quarantine em, then put em in your tank. Last time I was there, there was a beautiful acro with bitemarks all over it from flatties. I wouldn't have even thought of buying that one. Even when I pointed out the flatties, and said I'd take it anyway if heavily discounted, they still wanted like $50 for it.

If u look close enuff every storefront has them whether they know it or not.
They can't account for their suppliers.

LOL that is impossible period- Unless u aquaculture your stuff.

The high volume and turnover of pretty much all sps dealers plus the fact that the colonies are maricultured in lagoons w/o natural predators pretty much assures u all kinds of pests.

That's a fact- Everybody at some point is going to need penicillin- that's another fact of life.

Read the quote... I've never seen em... Doesn't mean they don't have them!
