IMO the LFS should be creating their own labels. I'm sorry if you cannot write out basic care for the animals you are selling you shouldn't be selling the damn things!!!!!

How many of us have seen some newbie ask "What is this coral? I bought it at the LFS and they didn't know either."

It's not difficult, our label system has a common name with scientific, picture, a price, origin (Indo-Pacific, Tank Raised, Caribbean etc) for corals lighting and water flow needs, for fish invert and other fish compatibility and a general description paragraph that discusses care and any quirks regarding the animal. We compose the care ourselves from various respected texts that are commonly available.

Our online livestock availability is basically a duplicate of the labels, and you can check them out by going to:

Shouldn't be ALLOWED to even have them...at least IME.

In short, regulate the hobby.....
