Is there coral commonly considered “easy to keep” that you find challenging to keep healthy/alive?

I have soft, lps and some easy sps and mushrooms just don’t like my tank!

Funny cause mushrooms are one of the only corals that do great in our tank!

I quit trying to figure it out, should be easy, beginner coral.

I cannot keep Xenia alive long term, and managed to kill Green Star Polyps!

Had trouble with xenia and gave up...then THIS!

The first coral I got was xenia, I'm mostly color blind on pigments so I wanted the flowing and dancing I saw.. mine always died.. it was the coral that pushed me into salt water because you know super easy to grow....you will be throwing it away you have so much.. I just throw away what it's attached to of course

Toadstool and Goniapora . I can keep pretty much everything else alive except this. Everything I try to research on toadstools there's all most no information on how to fix issues because no one has any besides me.

Even buying a new bigger tank did not make my toadstool happy...

What problems u got with toadstools?

 

[anthonymckay]

SPS do mostly great in my tank, many zoas get ticked and melt away over time. Not sure why.

 

[LPS Bum]

Trachy brains. I’ve had one for years and it does great, but all the others I’ve tried haven’t lasted more than a month.

And I’ve had great success in the same tank with Acanthos, Scolys, Elegance, Hammers, Bubble corals, etc. Go figure.

I have always been successful with zoas, and rock flower anemones, but my most recent tank it has been almost impossible to keep them. They last days if I'm lucky.

They start off happy then, something upsets them and then the polyps never fully come out again and eventually don't come out a even a little bit and die.

I have the same problem.

Long tentacle plates and elegance.
Stunning going in but gone almost overnight in a few months.
