Default 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)

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.

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.

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

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

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