"Easy" Things You Can't Keep Alive

[Justin Swinney]

I keep killing gsp. I have zoas, montis, a Kenya tree. Everything grows except the one thing people told me not to get because it grows too much

I feel you I even have 5 acros doing great

I'm gonna try blue sympodium this time instead, they're supposed to be just as hardy

Mine can't keep up with coralline. I need like 4 more

Tuxedo urchin will solve your problem.

Holy molly. Yeah, certain tanks grows coraline algae extremely fast.

I can't keep clove polops. Always melt away after about 2 weeks. Tried all types of flow lighting. You name it, I have tried it.
My fist tank was a 180 tried to get coralline to grow for two years. Now in my 125 coralline is the plage

I can't keep a Kenyan tree alive. Just kidding, those things are bomb proof.

I killed my Kenya when I changed tanks

I just threw all mine in the sump. I still find some hiding in the dt every couple days.

Goni's and Psammacora can't coexist in my tank. When one dies the other thrives usually based on tank nutrients.

Non-hermit crabs.

Emeralds, sally lightfoots, porcelain . . . vanish like ninja.

Alveopora died for me twice and they are supposed to be far easier than goniopora which I have no problems with at all.

Mine doesn't like a lot of light so I put it on the bottom and it's growing fast and colorful so try a lower light area of the tank and slowly put in more moderate light. if it gets to much light it will bleach fast.I got mine from Jason fox at a show last year

My ornate wrasse grabs them and smashes them on rocks or the glass.
I grab a few emeralds every few weeks for my entertainment

Any kind of fern, oh and aloe plants always die on me. I'm pretty sure I'm overwatering. As far as reef stuff I have the old school brown and green with white stripes caulastrea that just stays shriveled up all the time. I couldn't kill that stuff 20 years ago.

Thank you for advice.I will try to put it in a lower light and pray for good

I agree with everybody that said bubble coral.

This thread is hilarious. I CANNOT keep any mushrooms. Acro's LPS, most zooa's sure but the EASY stuff is HARD!
