One of the online stores "borrowed" a photo of my Wrasse :D

Probably because I posted it on here before. don't remember what thread
It’s pretty disappointing how morals, values and respect are disappearing from humanity. Too many feel they can do whatever they want….. whenever they want to.

Beautiful fish!

well if they buy coral wholesale and sell at normal margins they get that money back if they use the money to buy the coral right? doubting myself lol

id say buying their coral with money they gave you is like giving them a discount on using your picture lol
By buying their corals with their money? Nope

Looking forward to seeing how this vendor try’s to make things right. Or how they try to justify their actions and avoid doing so. If the second scenario ends up being the course they take, OP would you mind pm’ing me their name. I don’t want to inadvertently support a company with such practices

Thanks a lot, everyone. Will keep you guys updated.

What if they don't respond at all?
Send a follow up in three days and if they don’t respond after that, say you’ll press charges or something even if you don’t want to. It’ll make them talk. Just be nice about it but try to milk to situation as much as possible

I bet they wont. And just change pictures.
thats my bet as well. you could take them to court if you really wanted to since you have evidence and im sure some lawyers on here could give better advice than me

So I’m curious how & where they got ahold of your pic?
Any pic posted on R2R winds up on google images. For example, when I look up “Fluval Evo 13.5”, I sometimes see images of my own aquarium. It’s just how the web works I guess....
When this site owner looked up “blue star leopard wrasse”, they probably picked the best looking google photo, which was likely this one. What I’m wondering is how poor their wrasse looks for them to not post an honest pic of it....
