They have added red bugs to the menu. Last time I was there, two months ago, one tank has 20 red flatworms against the glass. YIKES!:eek:

I was there a month ago and it was a wasted trip. The tanks were dirty, selection as poor, and there were a few dead fish in the tanks. It is noticable that they are more into selling puppies then taking care of their saltwater section.

I was there about a month ago and they had updated their coral tanks. They had a lot of nice corals from a quality source. I did not see any flatworms.
This varies with every store. Of the 10-15 stores I shop at I have seen flatworms at one time or another at all except 2. The two I did not see
them at I was probably not there at the right time. They do not sell many
Acros so I did not notice any red bugs. The stores that sell lots of Acros and
buy acros from hobbyist tend to have more of an issue with red bugs.

I was back in a couple of weeks ago and noticed they had some nice corals. The yellow open brain was awesome! They don't have a lot so it can be hit or miss.

This was the first shop I purchased stuff from when I was a noob. I bought about $200 worth of brown zoas, a few pieces of live rock, grape caleurpa macroalgae, and everything came with flatworms. A few months later I stopped by and asked them about their flatworm problem and how that is a problem in all their tanks, and they said it's not an issue for the customer. Needless to say, I have not been there in about 5 years.
