This is sick!

I read this on Reef Central....I won't ever buy one now!



Hawkfish horrors...
Has anyone heard of how hawkfish are collected? Ever wonder why they're not usually cheap? I was informed recently that hawkfish are collected by certain people who wear large wooden boots into a reef and proceed to kick apart corals in order to scoop up the hawkfish. 100 year old (and older) formations are being destroyed for this purpose. I don't know about the rest of you, but I am boycotting hawkfish from now on for this reason.

The sad thing is that it is one of may horrible practices in this hobby. If we stop purchasing these fish.....then they have no reason to collect.
