Picking one specific but nameless store, if you can't or won't treat your livestock properly and that causes loss and increased prices, then I will refuse to buy from you. Prices at some stores are high because they appear to be the cause of their own losses.

During a recent trip that came after a couple of orders arrived at the store I observed the following:

1) 3 times i saw staff open shipping bags and dump stock into tanks with no acclimitization at all
2) 3 tanks with companion fish/coral pairings where the coral was not secured and was being washed around the tank and being stung by other corals as well as hitting rock
3) 2 tanks of snail species that are not able to turn themselves over packed so tight that there were towers of snails 5 high and multiple snails upside down and dead
4) Multiple tanks with non-reef safe species in with incompatible species, or aggressive species mixed together
