And it is SO HARD for me to keep my mouth shut when I see that happening.
I only barely avoided this when I started. My LFS tried to do that to me and fortunately I had read just enough to know that cycles were dangerous to living things and I didn't want to risk harming the fish so I told them I'd figure out another way to do it. I would have never even thought of the aggressive and mean part.

This isn't my story, but someone on these forums was telling a story of how people at an office he was asked to take over aquarium maintenance for were thrilled with the great growth they were getting from these pretty flower things:
P.S. I can't remember who it was, or I'd give proper attribution for the story.

I see food for a harlequin shrimp.
I also see one of the more elusive things to keep in a reef tank - a starfish. As a new reefer, I thought these were awesome. After some years in the hobby - I still think they are awesome. Just a royal PITA kind of awesome. The numerous small brittle stars I have now are more awesome (awesome-r ???
).
I saw a newbie who didn't know what they were: BUYING some at the LFS....I told myself "do NOT say anything"I see food for a harlequin shrimp.

....do not even ask if he has a harlequin shrimp to feed them to ....they were only a couple of bucks for all the LFS employee could pluck out of the tank but still 
The local bank has an aquarium on display, LOADED DOWN with only GIANT SIZE Aiptasia. As I was "admiring" it one of the tellers mentioned that the tank was the Bank Owner's Pride & Joy!
Maybe the guy has more $$$ than sense
He pays someone for maintenance
I see a good good member of the CUC (clean up crew) that can get back in the rocks and eat debris where snails can't reach - the earthworm of the sea - a common bristleworm

I also see good cuc. But, I'm also remembering back to a time in the 90s when I was emptying a 55g acrylic tank onto the grass in my backyard and 100s of those pink/red worms came out of the crushed shell substrate. They were wigging all over the grass. At the time I couldn't figure out 
how I had missed noticing 100s of them in the tank (a tank that ran for 4 yrs).
