Is there a coral that you can't seem to keep alive?
 
The 2 I can't seem to keep are acans and birdsnest (with the exception of bop)

Candy canes for me.

Strange on the birdsnest. I have 3 different kinds, and all growing like weeds. Having said that, I do have to keep them down low, almost partially shaded.

I've found that mine always do better right at the surface under the lights :)

Currently, I'm having trouble growing digitata -go figure!!

Tbh I haven't had any digi in a long time, I have a fear of nudis so I won't add any more monti now that my Jedi mind trick and rainbow are growing good

I have orange digis, also growing well, but they do need a lot of light. When I found a neighboring SPS start shading one, that portion would die off.

I did try Zoas about a year ago, a couple times. But they all melted on me. Even moved them to a separate frag tank, but no luck. I took a frag back to the LFS (Paul's place) where it was examined for possible pests, but none found. So I have given up on them, for now.

+1. I always laugh silently when someone says "zoas are easy!". Or maybe its just me :sad:

And never had success with any euphyllia coral. Those damned thing wouldn't grow in my tank other than killing things around!

Have you tried alveopora?

Madreefer 12-28-2013 06:04 PM

Zoos, digitata and pink poccilopora. Only cuz my dreaded clove polyps would smother them. Cloves have been gone for quite a while now and now things are doin great.
