In my first tank in 2000...a 38 gallon, for two years it did extremely well for corals. I don't remember loosing any corals except for a rock anemone that the shrimp picked to death. I had mushrooms, anthelia, two types of xenia, zoas, palys, GSP, toadstool, sinularia, candy cane, platygyra, and a rescue porites. I traded and fragged some of these.
I did loose several fish, first was a maroon clown my boss had mistakenly bought for his tank and my tank wasn't completely cycled yet, a yellow tang which jumped out, a clown which also jumped out and a small pygmy angel.
I lost the whole lot when I upgraded to a 55 which experienced a three day heat wave. Well...I still have some of the mushrooms and palys.
