Ya you should definatly do your own research before hand.

Tgere are better stores than wais in calgary as well for advice, stock, and prices.

Wais is a good store for experienced reefers, or ones that do their research before buying, its definitely not a good one for impulse buys!!
I've seen many a bleached nem in almost every store in the city, especially the sebaes.

I like Wais as he brings in varied corals that you likely wont see anywhere else, but he sure gets you on the pricing. I tested him on a coral I bought almost 2 years ago, thought maybe he gouged me as I was a noob, but his pricing was identical. You just need to know what you are looking at and what's reasonable to you may not be to someone else.

Good job on getting your nem healthy again!

"Annie" attached itself to the back of my largest Trochus snail early this morning. I felt so bad for the poor snail as it was pretty much trapped (it was strong enough to pull the anemone but just barely). I forced the anemone off and put it on the glass of my tank - it's now healthy enough to attach to things!



It's getting a bit more brown too which I like. It seems to enjoy munching on silversides!

If folks think it is healthy then I can finally look towards putting more in the tank. I didn't want to add anything while I was focusing on this poor creature's health.

Wai's pricing is generally not good although the clowns seemed pretty inexpensive to me (17 ea for true percs). His coral is beautiful however, I think anyone who hasn't been there should come in just to look at the coral selection if nothing else.
