My coral beauty and diamond watchman goby plus my larger clown jus seem to kill every coral. If it is on the lower half of the tank then the goby gets it if not then the coral beauty picks it to death. If high up and two small to be picked at then the larger clown tries to host it and kills it.

I heard from @Paul B that quite a few native NY species of inverts can be kept on a reef tank in this case mostly grass shrimp. This may be worth a try. I do have cleaner shrimp however. My tank is low on biodiversity and struggles due to having a ton of fish including some that eat corals and having few inverts.

Working to pull out my kole tang then perhaps another fish eventually but for now just the kole tang.

This tank is slowly recovering. My hope is since I am down to one fish that I can keep eventually begin keeping corals again after the crash. Keeping the lights low and feeding small amounts have kept the wrasse and apparently a few shrimp alive. The hair algae appears weak and is not growing. Soon I will consider my next move which will likely be removing the algae maybe with a turkey baster since with a smaller pippete it comes off.

Lights back on. Algae is growing again. With only one fish with minimal feeding, I question how fast it can grow...I will pull some hair algae manually soon.
