harlequin sweetlips?

I was at our local Petco picking up some kitty litter and I always look in the tanks. They had a couple harlequin sweetlips that were really cool.

The new one next to Dierbergs? Nice store and it appears they are actually trying to not kill the saltwater fish, although seeing anemones in there still bother me

I looked it up and although it is a really cool looking fish, it gets to 3 ft long and is a fast grower. It eats just about everything, fish, snails, etc. Be a great one for a huge FO tank. With the track record of those stores I wouldn't hold my breath on it being nice too long. The tanks, etc. are too new to show the lack of attention yet. I had spoke with the guy running the one in Ballwin and the corporate rules don't allow for proper husbandry. I doubt it changed.
