Im actually kinda glad about this

Good. Not like you can't get them from other hobbyists, right?. But I bet they will jack up their prices.

Exactly, lfs' will start selling them as "premium anemones" and jacking the pricing up. A $6 anemone will go for $75-$100 on the black market. I agree that they should be temporarily banned, they aren't anything but overgrown aptasia that will eat anything in your tank and short lived in our tanks.

Maybe if they jack up the price people will think twice about buying them though and maybe do a tiny bit of research on it before committing so much money

Its time for the whole industry to go with 100% tank raised, mari-cultured and aqua-cultured.
