my SOB yellowtail chromis's who attack anything in their territory, whether it's a snail, my hand, a chiton, or my shrimps. Or my serpent star who killed my sea cucumber and caused it to blow all its organs out 
. Or finally my sand-sifting star which is just needs so much more space.

Yeah, this thread is an awesome idea!
I wanted a Hawaiian Blue Puffer. Now I don't.

I probably wouldn't have them at all, but my daughters like to watch them.
I think hermit crabs are way more fun to look at than snails, though...
What's wrong with hermit crabs?

the neon psuedochromis and cherub angel. They think they are the bash brothers and beat up any new fish that goes in the tank. I have yet to find a fish they wont harass to death.
aggressive tank
hawaiian blue puffer that thing is an urchin and sea star killing machine
lunare wrasse snails are no more and eats and eats and eats

I would say two engineer gobies, but I bought those while I was at home this summer, and put them in my buddy's tank for the time until I went to school. So instead of them destroying the aquascape in my tank, they did it in his
They were taken back to the store a few days after they were bought.
In my tank, I regret my purple lobster. HUGE PAIN. He cost me twenty bucks to bring home, and since then, about 150 more. He killed my Heniochus Butterfly, my gorgeous Volitan Lionfish, and my Yellow Tang. After the Tang, I finally got smart and went to the pain of catching him and I put him in my 3 gallon. The only thing he has to terrorize in there are my boxer crabs, and I don't think he's going to want anything to do with them (if he can ever even find them).

Hermit crabs kill snails to get to their shells. Also, they can crawl on some corals, like frogspawn and torches, etc, and not make them want to open up. They are great cleaners in my refuge/sump though.

ROFL, you would have to be a moron to add a 150w halide to a 10g, that is like putting your tank in the stove.

Umbrella Mushroom Polyp. It swallowed my clownfish after paralyzing him with... something? While trying to save the clown, I ended up killing the Umbrella.

the two peppermint shrimp....that I guess are not "true" as the lfs told me they were, they will NOT leave my zoa's alone.....I chase them every night, and also the snails that I have are always ontop of the zoa's and im always pulling them off ......
live and learn....although im not sure what to do about it...
couldn't catch those pepp's if my life depended on it...they run and hide when they see me coming, unless im reaching for the food!
was told to keep them fed, been feeding 2 to 3 times a day (so far no probs with the water from that) and they still go after my zoa's......
