This will definitely not make a dent in their sales, but I have to get this off my chest. I love WWCs display tanks, and the large selection they have. I think their corals are beautiful and I love going in there just to browse. But I can’t stand buying a brand new fish, or name brand, EXPENSIVE frags only to find bad hitchhikers. On numerous occasions Ive found bubble algae and aptasia on the frags. Twice now I’ve bought a fish from there that’s super sick. I try not to bash anyone, but it’s annoying.
I just purchased a royal gramma and for about three weeks now I’ve been helping it recover. Today he was hiding, came out, laid on some rocks and I watched as flukes crawled all over his body like maggots (absolutely gross). The first dip was a week ago only and 4 flukes came off, today the number of flukes was 16!! I’ve been treating the poor baby but this shouldn’t be a thing at a store thats considered “high quality”. I know illnesses happen, and LFS are not exempt. But for a store with such a great reputation, should examine their products before putting them out for sale. An employee once told me how important it is to them that they provide great customer service, but quality products is just as important.
