What got me was the one promoting the Gold Rim Tang (Acanthurus nigricans) over the White Cheek (Acanthurus japonicus).

The japonicus (from my readings at credible sites) has a survivabily rate over the nigricans by about 100:1. Few nigricans live past 3 months in captivity.

This is a trend I've notice in promoting a few differant species for marine life.
I can understand varying opinions, but the one above just blew me away.
