Does anyone see a moral issue because I make my living chipping
gorgonians, recordias and snails by the bucketfull from the Keys to
pay my mortgage?

My 1st impression is this is a troll but...

Depends on who you ask. Try asking someone from the Sierra Club or Green
Peace and see what they say. Doesn't make much since to ask that question to
a group of reef aquariums owners.

I struggle with the notion that people maybe damaging reefs for our
entertainment but I put my confidence in the LFS to make their purchases
responsibly. I maybe deluding myself.
