I think the word knowingly needs to be added here as I have done above.
Seriously, this is common sense. Vendors should have reefkeeping experience. They should know that animals that they are selling. Selling corals/fish that are impossible to keep to reefkeepers is irresponsible and should not be done here. We ALL have to have some standards! We will also frown on individuals selling such things here also! So this doesn't just apply to vendors.
