It's easy to forget that the bread and butter stuff is popular for a reason. A lot of super common stuff that a lot of elite reefers look down is colorful, relatively hardy or easy to grow, etc. Perfect example is Monti caps. I love them and have several frags. But for SPS, they're relatively easy, cheap, and grow fast...and a mature colony looks amazing. I don't care about name brand corals....I just buy what I like. Besides, how common is it for stuff to change color as it adapts to your tank. I've got a few $5 rescue frags that have colored up amazingly well.1) Using Salifert Flatworm Exit --- Used at 70% dosage strength - 40 mins after dosing 100+ fish just fell to the bottom of the tank dead. Most expensive lesson ever learned.
2) Maroon clowns should be enjoyed in other peoples tanks.
3) Two guys start reef tanks - 1 buys pretty corals frags. 1 mortgages his house and buys the most outrageously priced and fancy named coral frags that can be found. 24 months later the tanks have both grown in. One tank is not any more beautiful than the other. A mature reef tank is a thing of beauty and many of the crazy lil bits of corals don't grow into crazy colonies. Man (or person) #1 who bought pretty corals not only didn't mortgage his house, but now probably can afford a bigger tank and maybe even a bigger house.
