I have worked in the aquarium/pet industry, in retail fish stores, my whole life. I have never seen a store owner dye anything.

I can't speak for "vendors", or wholesalers, or the people who catch the animals themselves.

honest aquarium shops have too much work to do to dye coals and anemones.

Read the article in the link listed above.

"If the shippers that execute this abhorrent practice are too ignorant to know or care about a better way, and the local retailers are similarly ignorant or worse, then send a quiet and powerful message: don't spend your money on them."

OK, I did read the article before I posted.

Aquarium shops that I have worked for, don't do this. Don't label everyone on the business side of the industry as a dirtbag. You send a bad message to beginners who eventually make some bad choices and spend money on the wrong products.
