Green disco shrooms! Although cool looking they spread and release killing whatever they come in contact with.
Also hairy pavona cactus coral spreads fast and kills whatever it touches.

Xenia! I had this in my first two tanks (almost 2 yearsback), and vowed I would NEVER EVER put it in a tank again. It was awesome seeing the pulsing heads...but the rate at which is grows...and spreads EVERYWHERE....no thank you!

Been there done that!

Elegances, bubble corals and galaxea, not for now at least. I had a bubble coral that I had in my nano (stinged the living hell out of everything) then moved it to my reefer 250 where it was too big for the tank and it unfortunately got stung by my nem when it decide to take a walk (talk about karma). Elegances and galaxea I never tried and never will in this tank because of how aggressive they are

Whatever this may be. Came in the sand bed of an established tank I bought. And thought oh those seem cute. Yep, nope! Takes over everything. I believe it is Sympodium.

Anything NPS. Not that they aren't great, just that I know myself and I know I just don't have the ability to care for them appropriately
