I'm saying that if you search nems on ebay most are wild caught ones, normally Welsh, and they say they're fine for community marines, which they clearly aren't.

lol yeah i saw those on ebay aswell for £1 each, i really really hope no one actually buys them because im almost positive a clownfish wouldnt live in one and it would die after several days.

Well quite. When I was looking into marines, I spent months and thousands of hours doing research and never did manage to save the money up, I looked into nems and there was loads on ebay back then, all caught from the manky British coast. I even talked to someone who'd collected their own and had them in their tanks, apparently they reproduce alarmingly and sting all the corals.
