Don't take aquarium trade as sample as owner of salt water aquarium I realize that fishes & corals are belong to the sea. Somemore this ornamental fish trade is damn more destructive than poking puffer. They use cyanide to knock out fishes and crow bar to harvest corals. I am guilty as charge because I have lots of corals last time in my tank. Now I still have tanks with fishes that already with me for more than 4 years, I don't have heart to release them in Singapore waters it may not survive, If can relese them in Tioman then I will decommission my tank.
dun do it.. they might not survive in tioman for that matter..
i think the decent thing is to keep them alive and treat them well....
