metrokat Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Tried unsuccessfully to keep certain corals, fish or inverts? Join the club. I'll go first. Florida Riccordeas. I can keep Yuma rics, other regular mushrooms like spotted, striped, plain old mushrooms but can't keep the florida rics happy. You? Link to comment

Spirofucci Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Great idea for a depressing thread! As some of you know, everything in my tank is healthy, but all 10 of my zoa colonies look like shiit. Link to comment

I can keep Yuma rics, other regular mushrooms like spotted, striped, plain old mushrooms but can't keep the florida rics happy. You? Same here. My ricordea went from a beautiful, half dollar sized ric under my t5's, to a mutated, pale, dime sized mush, losing 2 of its 3 colors completely. Even in the shade, it stays the same. It did split though:P. and then my pistol took the mini ric I think it just really hates my leds And clowns. I don't know what the deal is, I kept nps coral thriving for months without even knowing they are nps, in the same tank as sps and a clam, but the second a clownfish hits my water, it's a death sentence.

MikeTR Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 ZOAS!!!!!!! you piss me off you colorful little addicting bastards!!!! I frag you, I set you next to each other, you both heal, grow new polyps, then one of you dies, the other lives.. and it's never the ugly ones. Half of you look fabulous, half of you don't. SPS look great, get your #### together... /rant Setting up a whole new tank so I'm sure I'll have a whole new set of stuff that I can't grow. Link to comment
saltwatercoral Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Open Brains... I can keep and grow SPS and acro great but when it comes to open brain/lobo's.... Forget about it Link to comment

printerdown01 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I have acons, happy SPS, fingia, and ricordea - but I cannot keep a mushroom alive in my latest 10 gallon to save my life... Really weird and drives me crazy! Link to comment

TJ_Burton Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I've tried so many times to keep this: the damn thing keeps destroying my home... Seriously though, I have never had an issue with any one coral or invert or fish specifically that I wasn't able to correct. Link to comment

avbarr11 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Emerald Crabs. Bought like four of them over a year in my 20g. Crab goes in, crab never reappears. It is a mystery. Are you sure you don't have one of these? They make for terrible hitchhikers... and love the taste of emerald crabs and drywall. Link to comment
