That was one nice scoly. I had an itch for one of these a while back. If that had happened to me I would never have another milli in my tank.

It's amazing how they can recover too! I would prize that one as a forever keeper!

This one hurt too. I lost it to what I believe was Black Band Disease. All the fragging and dipping in the world didn't save it. I even moved it to another tank. It took about a year to recede back to nothing.

Yes, I guess it was mad at me for how I handled it and where I mounted it. I think I hit it with too much light initially, while it was still wounded. I partially shaded it for a while and left it to see if it would die completely. But as I said, it came back to life, and is now starting to look good.

I came extremely close to loosing my feugo. Direct flow almost pealed it clean. But now recovering. So happy as I don't know if there's any around

My favorite coral that I've ever owned was an elegance coral. I did a tonne of research, bought a really nice one only to see it last less than a month.

My most upsetting lose was my gigantea carpet anemone though. I've never researched and pondered a purchase near as much as that, or spent close to that amount on anything. I completely rearranged my tank for it.

I've always wanted one, but hesitated due to price.
