Default A question of ethics

Ok I have a question of ethics for my fellow 3reefers. One of the local pet shops have just started to carry saltwater. I strongly advised to the owner to not do that. While I would love to have a a local source for supplies, however I feel that this is something that shouldn't just be jumped into by a supplier. I recently went in to visit him to see how everything was running and he had a set of corals up for sale. He had it labeled as Tree/Stick Polyps - Acrozoanthus species, However They were looking like aptasia and not like all of the other pictures that I have seen of stick polyps. Now I asked him where he got them from and he said that he got them from some of his suppliers but wouldn't tell me where. I also think that they are aptasia because of his pricing. 6.00 for a grouping of them, and no they were not on sticks. more like on finger type live rock. So my question is should I take him the information I have on the hobby? Or should I just let him flop in his salt water effort? Thanks in advance.
