Corals you wish you never added?

[skinz78]

What corals do you wish that you have never added to your display tank?

For me it is a close tie between my watermelon mushrooms and my brown Paly's that are sprouting up all over the tank.

Any type of mushroom beside ricordia, gsp, and especially xenia.

y'all just named all my coral,except my orange cap and leather....I have mushrooms everywhere but I like 'em,someday if I ever try to go SPS dominate,I'll probable regret 'em though,my GSP as about tripled in size in the last few months too,I moved it to a spot that hopefully will kinda contain it's spreading some...I love my anthelia and 1 of my clowns has took a liking to it as well,it doesn't seem to be spreading too rapidly yet though...I have 3 kenya trees but they haven't grew much at all,I did notice my flame angel nip at 1 of 'em 1 time,but never again since...

wild caught sps - i've tried them a couple times and have never seem to have any luck keeping them. even if they make it through the first month they tend to be hyper sensitive and die at the first sign of tank trouble
aqaucultured sps (true aquaculture not chop shopped) are the only ones i'll buy ever again

Nasty mushrooms and them ugly zoas that grow like weeds.

It is either that or they turn green, never to look like what you bought them as.

Blue clove polops!

 

[nuff40]

generic brown palys

 

[swannyson7]

Anthelia, Kenya tree, Yellow polyps. I can't pull them out of the tank fast enough, but Anthelia is the worst. No matter how hard you try to manually remove it, it just comes back. I'm about to dremel corals off of some of my liverock so that I can bleach the rocks in an attempt to kill it off.

Brown Mushrooms, kenya tree and gsp. Made several attempts to remove them including scrubbing the rock, but they returned. In the end I pulled out my liverock and baked it in the sun for a few weeks then moved the rock to a new tank added a couple choice pieces of liverock and let the tank run 6 months with no fish or corals. Slowly added corals and a few fish. Tank looks awesome now and no more corals i don't want or pests (took care of glass nems). All corals are dipped and go into a small 40 gallon quarantine.....

Mine has been be wild caught SPS as well. They never look as good as they did in the pics, and they never last for me either.
