Well if you water is fine then no. Sometime the fish is already stressed or sick and the store and then being moved into another tank can stress them even more and the are even more prone to getting sick. So that could of been it

sounds like a really bad LFS to me, all my LFS have a 48hr guarantee and IMO thats a bit short.

I have never gotten a guarantee on ANY fish for sw. Only when I order online. Not sure if it's my area or if that's the norm but no one offers anything, once you leave the store with it youre done.

There is one that has a 48 hr guarantee but their prices really really high. The others don't have any type of guarantee for livestock.
One thing about saltwater fish most are caught using poisons. Some fish waste away slowly and others it doesn't take long at all. I try to buy tank bred whenever possible.

My LFS has 24hr on marine and 48hr on freshwater and even then you need to show perfect water parameters. If anything shows, even the least little bit, the guarantee is automatically voided.
