PetSmart does not carry saltwater fish. The idea has been thrown around, but as far as I know, no action has been taken, nor will be in the near future.
Also, PetSmart has a strict policy concerning their own quarantine tanks, which are kept in a secluded area of the store.. they are not kept on the floor, "under observation."
You went to a PetCo.
Anyway, good luck with the guy. I once bought an ocellaris clown from the local PetCo and wasn't paying enough attention to notice it had ich.. hyposalinity did not work, and I had to resort to copper.. the ich cleared up, but he stopped eating and still passed on. =/
