BulkRate Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Branching Frogspawn, so far. Either the flow in my tank tears it to bits (I swear...it's just an indirect Koralia 240!) or my yellow clown goby goes Hannibal Lecter on it within 48 hours of addition. Mystified by the shots I see of others with the same powerhead or bigger that have one the size of a softball... Link to comment
tennis20 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I killed xenia. I win! Oh, and my toadstool leather. My GSP looks great though! I can never keep GSP they always die Link to comment

metrokat Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 might as well! theyre dead to me >=( oh Nippy. That is the most tragic 'can't keep alive to save my life' I've ever read on this forum. Do you need tissues? comfort food? my unhappy Florida riccordea? Link to comment
ScubaEthan Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 a girlfriend =( /hp hahahha same here. I lost two fish in one week to the filter Now I have major walls and barriers to protect them. Link to comment
banshee Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I forgot orange/white clowns. My b/w has been with me since the beginning but every time I get an o/w they kick it in under a month. Link to comment

colormyheart Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Plate coral and clove polyps. Two different frags of the latter, both died within a few days. Link to comment
neuwave Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Seriously though,I have never had an issue with any one coral or invert or fish specifically that I wasn't able to correct. Same here Link to comment
avbarr11 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Pending xenia... something keeps munching on it. Lookin' at you brand-new clown fish Link to comment
Paigee Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Snails. My blasted hermit snipes them ALL. He's not going in the upgrade. Link to comment
BulkRate Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Paige- Try banded trochus snails... they seem to have more anti-hermit tricks in their arsenal than most others do. They get a little bigger than astreas/nerites, but are significantly smaller and less bulldozer-esque than something like a Turbo. Link to comment
DreTheReefer Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I can't keep ricordias. I've tried in 3 different tanks and they all eventually bleach and melt away. Xenia forget about it. I won't even try in this tank this time. I thought they were begginer corals. Link to comment
Psychosis Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Yellow Scroll Coral, ****ers. Link to comment
Chrisl1976 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Cabbage Coral, just ends up a rotting stump. So if great gardeners have a green thumb, what to great reefers have? Besides empty wallets. Link to comment
metrokat Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 what to great reefers have? Besides empty wallets. Empty wallets. I wonder if we are more relaxed as a community than our non fishy friends? Link to comment
reog3 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Acans... My pods eat them like its a buffet. Bob Link to comment
Acielot Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I cannot keep my macroalgae alive without my urchins wiping them out. Link to comment
phoenix91 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 The only thing i've had really horrible luck with is leathers. Yellow toadstool melted, green devils hand took over 2 months to look slightly recovered from half melting, and even now throws a hissy fit over the slightest thing. Just got a small pink devils hand frag and yup, it's completely white; didn't help i caught a hermit carrying it around the other day like a trophy, idiotic crab. Leathers hate my tank :/ Link to comment
banshee Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Plate coral and clove polyps. Two different frags of the latter, both died within a few days. Both my PYA clove frags died too. I'm getting another frag of cloves and praying they do better! Link to comment
HVani Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Shrimp. Before my upgrade I went through 3 peppermints and a candy cane pistol. Once I upgraded and waited a while I had 2 separate online orders that had cleaner shrimp. Both were DOA. I'm just not meant to have shrimp. Link to comment
