I’ve had my tank for about 6 months. So far, I have mostly LPS coral. 3 scolys, 2 ricordea, 3 torches, 3 hammers, 1 Duncan, 1 bubble coral, 1 lobophyllia, 2 gonies, 1 GSP colony 1 chalice, 3 favia pieces 1 plate coral, and 2 blastos. I have some zoas but they don’t seem to thrive in my tank. For fish, a few clowns, royal gramma, hippo tang. Clean up crew- sifting stars, Mexican turbo snails (who seem to have had some babies), nassarius snails, a fire shrimp. I have a small maxima clam. Not sure what category that falls under. Early on, I purchased a coral beauty (I’m a newbie ) who seemed to be bothering my trachys. Not enough for them to die but enough for them to look… lesser. Then my bf came home from the LFS about 2-3 weeks ago with a lemon peel angelfish (you can start sighing now) two trachys and ALL of my acans absolutely decimated along with one scoly slightly deteriorated. I went fishing after that. We’re currently trying to heal the damage physically, emotionally and monetarily lol. We have more coral otw this week. I’ll upload pics of my current favorites.

It was a sad day waking up to all that carnage. We no longer have angelfish in the tank!
A sad say for sure. On a lighter note, I found it hilarious that you knew what my ecto-cooler was referencing. When I posted that I thought "Nobody is going to get this, I am old". Thanks.
