nah..zoanthids are the hardest coral I have. They can do fantastic one day and the next they are all melted. Avoid expensive zoanthids as they are very hard to keep long term.

Easiest coral, nearly impossible to kill are duncan coral, and also very easy are frogspawn, green star polyp (GSP), photosynthetic gorgonian, mushrooms.

Avoid any fancy and expensive zoanthids, non-photosynthetic coral, goniopora, alveopora. If you do get zoanthids, buy the cheap ones so you won't loose a lot of money if they melt away.

I can deal with any coral and have succes with pretty much all of them except zoanthids, especially the rare and expensive ones.
