Of course this is just my opinion and maybe others see it differently.

Most reefers, for some unknown reason are too timid to ask the LFS clerk to feed the fish they are interested in. They think they will **** the clerk off.
Sometimes the clerk will tell the reefer that the fish had just been feed.
Experienced reefers would never buy ANY fish without actually seeing it eating in the LFS.
Experienced reefers would never buy large angels and naso tangs, ribbon eels, Copperbands, dragon, tamarind, pencil and leopard wrasse and other difficult to feed species because the success rate is so low that they are better left in the ocean.
