Good article and just another example of a fish that should stay in the ocean.

Default Call for action

The article is a call for action.

As reefers we need to let our suppliers, LFS and online stores know that it is simply no longer acceptable to carry clearner wrasse any more.

Next time you visit the LFS please politely but firmly tell them about the article and the irreparable damage they are doing by continuing to import cleaner wrasse.
thanks

I've had discussions on here and other reef boards about cleaner wrasses where I received hostile responses for even suggesting that people shouldn't have them in their tanks. People just don't want to hear some things (like a lot of things in this hobby, I find).
