Biggest Annoyances in a reef tank

[saltwaterfish.com Verified Sponsor]

There are a lot of unsavory pests that we deal with in the aquarium hobby, like bristle worms, hydroids, hydras, vermatid snails, aiptasia, and others. What would you say is the most annoying thing to deal with? For me it has been hydroids, tried a couple of things that got rid of them and for a while it worked. But I always find them to bounce back after a few months, seemingly from nothing.

Bryopsis for me; almost no herbivore will eat it and manual removal makes everything worse so I had to use reef flux capsules on a regular basis just to keep it down
