What are the most annoying things non-reefers say when looking at your tank?

[soggytees]

"Oh! Look! There's Nemo! Now where's Dory?" and other things our non-reefing friends say that just make us cringe (or fume)...

What are the those things that annoy you that your non-reefing friends say or ask when looking at your tank?

 

[ReefMadScientist]

They clearly see corals, they clearly see "Nemo and Dori", they even say "oh look its Nemo!" But they still ask...

"Is it freshwater or saltwater?"

My mother calls my Euphyllia plants.

#1 : You can grow coral?
#2: what kind of plants are they? (like ones above)

 

[dkray944]

Are those real plants?

 

[eklapp]

Are those plants alive?

1) not necessarily something they say, but when they start moving the magnet glass cleaner around and are all like "whooooa!"
2) I second the people replying here for when they say "You can eat your fish when you get hungry," "is that saltwater?" "It'd be cool if you put a shark in there!" (I have a nano tank FYI), "is that real coral? So it's like, alive?"
3) "Oh my god a starfish, that is soooo tight!" (When they see asterina stars)

(Face palm)

The magnet cleaner is the most annoying. People just can't help themselves lol

 

[eliramos]

You paid for rocks?
How much was that fish?
Those are alive?
Why don't you get this fish or that fish or this one "while looking at coral demolishing Angels"

 

[jluspo]

. . . I love those little miniature anemones, you should sell them (while pointing at the aptasia)

I hate when people do that.

 

[RareEarthCorals]

Ahhhh Fresh sushi and seaweed salad.... Hey look I just found Nemo!!!

 

[RareEarthCorals]

I use to have a fish tank, but it was too hard to keep, all my fish and coral died.

 

[RareEarthCorals]

Dont forget their little brats coming up and tapping on the glass with momma's iphone.....
