Hey Guys,
The wife and I went coral wandering today. We dropped into CA Aquarium in Reseda. The shop is looking great. They have multiple tanks of nice looking large sized frags. The selection is wide and diverse. Definitely something for every kind of collector.
Frags were mostly mid range to high end stuff, with lots to pick from. The zoas and polyps looked huge and happy. They had some gorgeous fungias. And he has a couple of mushrooms that even I was tempted to pull out the wallet for.
They have a beautiful display tank. The installation is gorgeous and the coral collection in the display tank is nice as well. We spent about an hour chatting with Austin, and he was friendly and informative. We walked out with a couple of nice pieces.
While we were out and about we headed to another 'Coral' vendor in the area. We wandered the store and several sales people said Hello which was nice. However, when one of the sales people came up to us the situation changed.
The wife and I have been looking to replace a bright orange Coco Worm we lost in our last crash. We asked the salesman if he had an Orange or Yellow Cocoworm. The salesman told me, that Coco Worms don't come in Orange or yellow, that they only come in pink or red stripes. I smiled and said no I was looking to replace a solid yellow one I had. He told me I was wrong, they don't come in solid colors and that I must have had a Yellow Feather Duster.
I laughed because telling me I'm wrong about something I owned is funny on one hand, and is just rude on the other hand. The wife saw that I wasn't laughing because this was funny. So wife chimed in saying it was a Coco worm because it had two heads. Pretty astute for a fish geek's wife. I don't remember the exact words, but the salesman said something to the effect of - No, you're wrong, you had a feather duster.
I smiled, said a polite 'Thank You' and we turned and walked out.
Who do you think is right.... A rude *&^%$ at the fish store, or my wife....
