Corals you wish you never added?

[Paul_N]

Green hairy mushrooms. They are like the plague. They grow fast and spread from rock to rock in no time.

 

[MikeB]

Kenya Tree and Any Mushroom

 

[FaviaFreak]

Blue clove polops!

+1 worse than Anthelia

 

[btkrausen]

Seems everybody has had problems with almost the same corals. Maybe we should make this a list for newbies to watch for :)

 

[akabryanhall]

Mushrooms! Too aggressive, not a problem if they didn't spread so fast.

 

[SDguy]

k
Kenya trees my gf added while I was in alabama. Been pulling them out as fast as I can. Going to break the rock there attached to when I move tanks, so dont gave any in,new one.

 

[Viva'sReef]

Yeah most of the encrusting montis.....and GSP. They just ruin live rock

 

[fab1971]

Red Monti and mushrooms. Never put them into a nano tank. Trust me!

 

[jonzee2006]

Xenia and GSP!!!!!

 

[Captain Nemo]

+1 on the stinking GSP. I cant get rid of this crap either, just appears other places...

 

[Curtie44]

Aiptasia!!! You all know you did it when you first started in the hobby..."oooo, look at that cool hitchhiker! I wonder if it'll grow if I feed it".:bigsmile:

Purple Nepthia ... it deposited babies all over the biocube and I bleached the rocks just to make sure it went away.

 

[beaner_12]

i like all my corals, thats why i do my search before i buy anything. i love xenias what is everyone talking about. if you guys dont want them send them to me. i love them.

 

[Captain Nemo]

I was fortunate enough to have never had an aptasia hitchhiker! So I was never like oohhhhh!!! look!!! I was that was with the vermetid snail that came on a rock and the yellow porites!

Haha, and after they spread, their next thread was...how do I get rid of this Aiptasia? haha. I keep a matted filefish in my frag tank, and drop him in my display when I start to see aiptasia. Has worked out great.

GSP looks awesome when isolated on a rock. My buddy had a fairly short rock as an island, with the GSP covering the entire thing. Was pretty slick looking.

 

[Captain Nemo]

Well if it wouldnt break off babies into other parts of the tank it would be, mine drops babies though.

 

[ahvrivera]

Elegance coral. Cant keep it alive. should be left in the ocean.
Green button polyps. started with one now have hundreds.

 

[kingfisherfleshy]

I just have a rule now, that nothing goes into a tank unless I would be happy with it being the only thing in there.

That being said, I also work pretty hard to island stuff.

Mushrooms...on my first tank.
