Red mushrooms. Everywhere in the tank now. They look decent, but they killed a lot of corals. Now they are fine since gorgs and leathers can handle them.

I really do not regret buying any of my corals because each one is a learning experience as to placement and containment. I have had palys, gsp, mushrooms, cloves, xenias, Kenya trees, ect. To many people put them on their rockwork and yes they will take over, but if you isolate them on individual rocks away from your main rockwork they are easy to contain. Just my opinion.
If you have a strong current in your tank xenia can break off and spread. Put it in a low current spot and you can control it.I have Xenia isolated and it still ends up all over my tank.
This was my mistake as well. Never. Again.Neon green pocillipora. Beautiful coral but dropped babies all over the tank. At first I thought it was cool to have an SPS thriving like that but I soon realized what a nusiance it could become. At one time I had over 25 small colonies from one end of the tank to the other. My apologies to all of my friends I gave frags to....I had no idea.
Interestingly I've kept other colors of pocillipora that never dropped a single baby.
What ever this is.
What kind of eel is that?

LOLOL! Ditto!All the expensive ones I have killed.
Looks like green button palythoa that turned brown. I can barely give that stuff awayIt's not an eel, it's an engineer goby

Great thread! I don't have corals yet (still cycling my first reef tank) but I'm already changing my original stocking plan for corals. Seems like a lot of the corals listed as 'great for beginners' turn into spreading terrors. Thanks to all for posting here!
