how bout this quote from another article on that site.

Tang Police – The Forum Vigilantes | reef tools#

If you’re a regular on the forums, chances are you’ve heard the term “Tang Police” or at least seen the abbreviation TP. The Tang Police are a group of individuals, not sworn in by any government body, that browse through forums and attack anyone with a less-than ideal aquarium-to-tang ratio. Tang Police generally do not like to be identified, or even more so called “Tang Police”. Apparently its not a nice name to call someone. They are vigilantes working to better the lives of tangs, and they have no shame calling someone out who is abusing their finned-friends quality of life.



sounds like people with too much time on their hands.:-X

 

Wow, that's...weird? I would be so mad..

 

The sad part is that article is true. I've seen it before, many times before. On here even.

 

well I have to say that I have seen this before from our LFS here . I work in the county jail here and have seen people stel alot of "weird" objects to include burned food from trash cans, corals, aquariums, puppies, wedding rings, fecies (yes I am serious it was some artist at the local theme park )
so this dosent suprise me.

All I can say is I HOPE HE GETS CAUGHT !!!!!

 

Here is another post from that forum....never saw it before.

White Tang Showcased at World Wide Corals | reef tools

the video of the tang is in this one

 

Hopefully they can post the video on the local news and someone will recognize him and turn him in.

 

I was in my lfs about a month ago and a guy ran out of the store with an arc in each of his hands. It was crazy. It's sad the lengths people will go to.

 

I was talking to a Hagan rep a few months ago about some of the ways people steal fish and coral. Apparently, when he was visiting another store he and the owner witnessed a guy take a coral out of a tank and put it in a bag that he had in his coat.

We had a lady steal a cichlid a few weeks ago. We would have said something, but the fact that the bag obviously broke and soaked her purse was worth not saying a thing.
