Ok, that is HILARIOUS! Can't you just imagine the guy trying to decide if you were deadpan with your sarcasm?

I love this thread, by the way. So many dumb mistakes.... so little time to recall them all. Here's one:

In our first little 10g hex tank we bought a condy anemone for our pair of juvenile occelaris clowns to "host" in. We were not feeding the condy, so it was only a matter of time before the first little clown went missing. I shone a flashlight on the body of the condy and you could see this little orange and white outline of the clownfish. GULP!
