    I WAS AT MY LFS TODAY AND GOT THE CUC ITCH SO, I BOUGHT 2 TURBO SNAILS (FAIRLY LARGE) , 3 CERITHS(HAD TO ORDER) ,AND 1 (LFS RECOMMENDED) GREEN BRITTLE STAR. NOW THEY HAVE BEEN IN FOR ABOUT 8 HOURS AND MY TURBOS ARE JUST SITTING WHERE I PUT THEM AND HAVN'T MOVED( BUT TO SCROUNGE SAND) AD MY GREEN BRITTLE IS HIDDEN IN A CAVE OF ROCK. I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT THE REPUTATION OF THE "GREEN" BRITTLE. I FIGURED IT WAS LIKE THE OTHER BRITTLES, AND THE LFS LADYSAID THEY DO GREAT IN REEFS :-/. THEN I GOT HOME AND RESEARCHED IT AND HEARD ALL THE HORROR STORIES ABUOT THEM. SO WHAT DO I DO NOW JUST LET IT B AND RISK IT EATING MY TANK? I WILL PROBABLY KILL IT WITH MY BAREHANDS IF THAT HAPPENS :angry:. SORRY JUST FREAKING OUT.









    ANYWAYS PLEASE HELP THANX.

    I would probably take it back and get a refund. The price of coral is not worth risking for a member of the cleaning crew.

    One of the highly favored attributes of all 2 lfs here, is there is "no guarantee or refunds on all sw creatures. So with that in mind what are some other options?

    Wow thats pretty harsh. Specially when they may have given you false info. You could always wait and see if anything happens. Im with you if a star ate my coral I would kill it with my bare hands too.

    You can explain what you read and you want some store credit back im sure. As for the turbo's they will come around. and once they do wow alllllll over the place.
