1) Mushrooms. Geez the one I have is the diameter of a soda can and has dropped off 3 more heads around my tank.
2) Kenya Tree. All I wanted was one stinkin tree not Sherwood Forest.
Anyone care to add to the list?

Your welcome.
I tried to warn ya. I have about 3 more that are behind rock I can't get to. But once I can, there out in the landfill with the rest.

And Green star polyps......I've been trying to peel them off the rocks lately. I think I'll just remove the rocks that have them and get new rock.
Anybody looking for big chunks of GSP covered liverock??
Tizzo, I have a small rock of the pulsating xenia if that's the one you like.

Tiz,
Nice to hear from you again. I was saying to myself when I seen you respond "I can picture her saying 'don't forget sun corals'" I am glad that you didn't. I still feel bad about them.

I don't mind the fast growing part. It is the detaching and growing them where you don't want them that drives
me crazy. Come to think of it, it is not a drive at all but a putt

GSP drove me crazy trying to pell them off the rock. Couldnt ever really peel em back and it drove me crazy. Everytime Id get a good tear and start peeling it would RIP! Ended up selling the whole rock and keeping me a few pieces!

Grouper,
Unlike the mushroom I got from Justin, I am happy with the GSP I got from him. Mine is growing great but has not left the boundaries of the rock that it was on when he gave it to me
Are you telling me that it is a traveler too?

Your asking if gsp's are spreaders?!! LOL!
Suns are ok. High maintanance but not a nuisance like all the others mentioned here.

Steve, if you can keep it out away from everything in the sand, your chances are better to keeping to that rock. If the rock is leaning on anything....even sleeping fish, it will spread.

I have had it try to spread across the sand, but it's easier to control that way.
I really like it growing across the back glass, but when it gets on the rocks, it starts taking up too much real estate.

I must not feed my suns enough. Haven't grown in 6 months. Should I be happy??

Non photsynthetic gorgonian.
Clam.
Just have not been able to keep a clam. I think I may have too much flow in my tank for them.

I keep sps's mostly. If I add zoas, they will over run and kill my corals, so I don't add them. It's hard to resist the temptation though. Since swf has added the zoanthid forum, I see how many beauties there are out there.
I broke down and begged grouper for some of his tubs blues, but it's all I can do to not beg him for more... He has THE most beautiful zoa tank that I have ever seen in person.
Grouper, your suns...
no, me and met have an inside "interest" on sun corals. WE're just playing.
But if you need to feed them...

You need to get a nano and call it Tizzo's zoamid of doom...
(ok I stole the idea but it was a good one)

Long tentacled plate corals-I had one that was destroyed by the affections of my tomato clown. I found another home for that clown then silly me, I got another LT plate coral and one of my other clowns hosted it and it died. No more, until the clowns die.

Oh, God!!!
I know exactly what you are saying. I had lots of them died. They are so beautiful that I just cant resist from buying them, and then I feel so guilty when they die
