Fungia, Xenia, and Ricorida once flourished in my tank but in recent years just die slowly. I think its because its much cleaner now. I have relatively fewer fish and skim more heavily.

Hmmm, interesting,... mine is the opposite. I have a pink milli that is growing like crazy (had to prune off some frags a couple times), while I have powder blue milli that isn't doing anything. It just exists, and waves its fuzzy polyps, with hardly any growth. The only difference is they are on different sides of the tank, and the blue milli has a bit less light, and maybe flow is not quite as strong in that spot.

I seem to have pretty good luck with coral in general but for whatever reason I can't seem to GROW certain corals. Zoanthids, Acans, Stag Coral, and Pink Chalice survive and look pretty enough but don't grow larger. My Ponape Birdsnest, Digitata, Torch Coral, Frogspawn, Palythoas, Montipora, Green Birdsnet, and Fuzzy Acropora are all doing extremely well.

Forget to mention that daisy and glove polyps and also GSP won't grown in my tank either.

I have never been able to keep elegance. I have seen beautifull pieces but will not buy them , can not keep them alive.

For me its chalise's. They just slowly fade away. :(

I had a couple die on me. They don't like a lot of light. And keep them away from other corals, esp LPS. They are not good at defending themselves.

But I do have a couple that are doing OK now.
