What fkshiu said.
In addition they apparently live in the part of the reef where the waves break and therefor need really highly oxygenated water.

I do not know who you are nor the vested interest you have in our hobby.
Why don't you let us all know exactly what that interest is?

Have we let this lfs know that it has a responsibility for the animals they are keeping?
If so are they telling us to take a hike.
Maybe it is time to call in the SPCA. Than they may take notice.

Tough to find.
Best is to buy a live rock from an existing reefers tank or one that is at the lfs.
Than put lots of live rock rubble in your fuge and feed phyto plankton.
