Today is my anniversary and my wife decided to buy me a fish for my SPS tank...
Store #1 - LFS Employee told her that a Valentini Puffer would be great in a reef tank. Also told her that the Angelfish that I returned there 3 months ago (still there) would be great in the tank. She decided to get the Puffer and when they guy walked away to get a net, a random reefer told her not to do it as they are not reef safe. Luckily, she listened!
Store #2 - The Owner wouldn't sell her anything, because it was clear to him that she didn't know what fish I had or where my knowledge was. She fairly insisted on a Morish Idol, but he wouldn't cave.
So although I didn't get a new fish today, thanks to a random guy and a great LFS owner, I avoided disaster. Also, the thought of my wife spending an afternoon going to fish stores, which she hates...well the thought really does count :)
