I may not be speaking in the best interest in the immediate fish, but I am in the future 9, 10, 100, etc.
I disagree with your last statement as well. When I worked at this one LFS, I convinced all of the employees that flower pot corals (gonipora's) were not something that should be sold to customers because they don't live. After a while, no one was buying flower pot corals because the staff was educating the customers on them. Why would they possibly want to waste their $40 on something that would live 6-8 months and then just die? That is stupid. Well, the LFS was not selling the flower pot corals they had, some died, some got reordered and those did not sell either. Soon thereafter, the amount of flower pot corals that were ordered was reduced drastically because the employees were not selling them without educating the customers about them first. After the customers learned about them, they decided not to buy them. The LFS lost money on them, and this prevented many more from being ordered.
