Re: Who is responsible; the individual or the LFS?

"The largest killer of all capitve marine animals is ignorance of the caretaker" Anthony Calfo, BOCP.
With that said I would charge the person interested in keeping the animal. Advice is free and is not always correct, so take it with a grain of salt and do the research. You'll ususally feel much better that you did. I am a hobbist, and I run a saltwater service company. I have heard it all. I agree with Witfull's comments, being I've played in both sides. Responsibility is doing what is right for said organism, everyone should take part down the chain. Blaming a LFS is passing the buck for not doing your homework. Expecting a lot from a employee, the Ocean is a big place, a lot of information. Can you remember every detail of the largest percentage of our planet?( if you think you can i have some good questions for you, just an offer.)
