cute crab though!
Can you bring it back and get a refund and/or take what you've learned and share the knowledge so that person doesn't make the mistake again?

I went back and yelled at them. Usually a great place so I won't throw them under the bus. Grabbed a real emerald last night and the first thing I saw her eating was bubble algae! Hopefully she doesn't develop a coral appetite anytime soon.
