I don't quite get the "moral outrage" that people seem to be exhibiting, especially from hobbyists.

There is no reason or proof as to the cause of the death of these fish. If the reason was a system failure or disease outbreak, why is this different than the same thing happening in a hobbyists tank? Once a fish is removed from the reef, there is 100% mortality.

It is a shame that it has happened and will only be a black eye for the hobby/industry.

No, I don't have a tank or support any destructive fishing. I don't even like to eat fish.
