This is really a nice thread. Makes my blood boil when you hear all the LFS encouraging the sale of anything. I wish there was a way we could educate more people to research before they buy. It would certainly save a lot of unnecessary deaths of all the beautiful creatures in the sea and it may also discourage the LFS from just accepting what is sent to them. Dont know for sure but I imagine they dont do that in the States.

Haha mine was a box fish... Didnt do any research on the guy... He died and wiped out my entire tank.
Since then, i started reading and asking questions so i never have to kill a fish or coral again.. They are so beautiful and its not the "money" part but the part by moving natures beauty from their home into our tanks and
Letting them die because we were careless enough to let it happen

LOL, I love this thread! My mistake was two Humbug Damsels, about 16 years back, man are they NASTY, the sad party is that I really loved them as they were my first ever marine fish, and the internet was just a baby here in SA, and google wasn't around then, so you just trusted the dude at the LFS.
AS RIAAN SAID, DEVIL DAMSEL and MY WORST was
Bird Wrasse-
killed my one and only Clam,
my Dragon Wrasse-
They f... stuffed up my tank big time by arranging the rock, and the worst of them all,
the Formosa Wrasse,
dunno how many coral it killed by toppling the coral over, onto other coral- I am not fond of the Wrasse family, had more than enough of my share with them

I'm sure my tomato clowns say the same thing. The pair gets really agro especially the female & bites flippen sore when I add or move coral around or when scraping the glass. Sometime they even gang up & attack from all angles. I thought they would get use to my hands in the tank after 2yrs but hell no she's a feisty little bugger.I am willing to bet who will back down first, still one of my favourite fish.
