Do you have a particular coral you cannot keep?

[SimonMo]

I can't keep elegance coral. Euphyllias,duncans,acans, birds nests, acros,montis and zoas grow very well but catalaphyllia always loses tissue and falls off.

Right now it's a bird nest that won't thrive, and a dragon soul favia that seems to be receding and doesn't want to do well.

Mushrooms! I have sps (easy ones), lps and softies but can’t seem to keep mushrooms of all things.

It's at least nice to hear I'm not the only one who has issues with specific corals for seemingly no reason.

Torch , trumpet , elegance , zoas . But I can keep palys

Same here

Great question.
After 40 years and dozens of tries.

Helio Fungia (about 3-5 months) 7 attempts.
Elegance (about the same) 5 tries.
Gonipora (does great for months, then dies) 3 tries.
Tracs (year and a half at best)

I just don’t buy this stuff anymore.

Scoly I love Scoly tried three times, nothing. So sorry

Just about everything I’ve had problems with except some mushrooms. Quite disappointing sometimes, almost lost my frogspawn a few weeks ago due to too much light with too little acclimation. Frogspawn is now quite bleached but looks like it’s starting to rebound (hopefully).

Donuts or meat corals used to do great prior to the coral eater .

There are few that I’d love to keep but manage to kill unintentionally. Chalice, Blastos and birds nest . The last ones weird cause I can keep Pocis and Stylos just fine. Acros we’re on the list but now I’m starting to have small success with them.

Found out the hard way too that Heliofungia and elegance don't last long in our tanks. Going to add fungi to it too.

Same here. Currently I have 2 left,my very first one(one and a half year old) and my last one(half a year old). The 4 in-between all slowly shrunk to nothing.

 

[A Young reefer]

cant keep xenia at all I keep everything from palys to acros, tried xenia 3 times and it dies every time.
chalices don't do well too, my fine sand damages them.

Thanks, I’ll stay clear of these as well.
