It’s not your lighting. I have hammers and I’m getting a torch for the same tank and I’ve never had literally anything I’ve put in there die. Everything grows like weeds. That torch looks like it’s being choked by algea. Putting peroxide on a q tip and painting the algea will kill it

All of my coral died. I bought more CUC and my algae issues have gone away completely, so much that now I'm afraid some of the CUC are gonna starve! Gonna work out a good balanced mix I suppose.
Don't think I'll try corals again for quite some time.

I'd say try to keep a balance of some kind, but yeah, everyone loses a snail or crab every now and then for sure.

Try some hardier stuff. Zoa's, duncans, candy canes (caulastrae), Goniastrea, blastomusa, Favia, Favites, Leptoseris and Leptasria are all super, super hardy.
