Lets see those corals that you have rescued from a LFS or somewhere else that you have brought back.

You should never rescue corals from crappy LFS. It sounds harsh but if they continue to loose money they will stop carrying and killing the corals.

I respectfulyy disagree with that. Why should the coral suffer because the LFS is not set up to hold them for long periods of time. Most of them are only set up as a temporary holding place until someone buys them. Most of their tanks they sell out of don't have the proper lighting etc to keep them for long periods. So if a coral doesn't sell in two weeks or more from what I have seen it starts to go downhill.
I don't think they should sell it to you at full price however.
