He probably had a Sea Hare,, They are bad ass. I bought one for my tank. He lasted a long time till it got sucked up into the power head. I actually had a media sponge on the bottom of the power head. I took it off for awhile and came home from work just here recently and it somehow got sucked up to the intake on the bottom.. it didn't make it. So have to get another one.. They keep all the algae out of the tank.. Their ugly but they do the job well..

@@mdstmouse7 Banned for protection and preservations of the limited Corals Reefs we have in India. India has vast seas and costal areas but very little Corals Reefs and these Reefs are majorly found in Southern India, Gujrat (west coast), Andaman & Nicobar Island and Lakshadweep Islands . There is no aqua cultured facility for Corals in India and selling corals was never an authorized trade to begin with Andaman & Nicobar Island and Lakshadweep Islands are holiday destinations that are secluded and far off from the mainland having pristine waters with diverse marine life and spectacular corals reefs, these islands are controlled and protected by the government so no Corals are sold here. Gujrat (west coast) and Southern India (especially Chennai) are extremely densely populated mainland but does not have corals reef like Andaman & Nicobar or Lakshadweep Islands and here corals are illegally plucked off from the reefs and sold all across India. The coral peddlers are destroying whatever coral reef is left that's why the government has banned the trading of all forms of coral be it live corals, dead coral, coral skeletons even live rock is also banned

In India most of the stores sell wild caught marine fishes that are not yet settled or acclimated to aquarium conditions, so they die due to stress from transportation and all. Try to buy fishes from a experienced seller, they'll surely give you fishes in good condition:)
