    Ironic, that you think removing their habitat (live rock) is ok, but removing them isn't.

    First, there's not an unlimited amount of live rock on Earth. If there were, we wouldn't be on a giant singular rock floating around in an even-more gigantic empty space.

    Second, rocks don't have feelings, true. But have you ever considered the crabs, shrimp, mussels, barnacles, snails, and fish (yes, fish hitchhike in aquacultured live rock!) living in and amongst them?

    Third, use spellcheck, please. You argument looks even worse than the obvious logical deficiencies you try to convey in those jumbled, unpunctuated messes.

    you have to consider the fact that english may or may not be some peoples first language. It can be harder for some people to use proper grammar. Now I dont know if this is the case, but I remember seeing other users where this was the case.

    Oh yes, little blue chromis are taken out of the reef by gigantic nets....

    Bio-balls do their job too well. Eventually, they will cause an excess of nitrates to filter into your water. Some people swear by them, but I feel an established tank would benefit from not having them. The live rock you probably have in your display tank is very porous and will do the same job as the bio balls in one of your compartments.

    After removing the bio-balls from my sump, I noticed my nitrates dropped considerably!
