whats the nicest coral youve ever lost

[Magma]

Nicest Coral for me was my frog spawn. It was only 2 heads and it was looking great...then one day it all sucked it and "died". I was going to remove the rock it was on but left it in, after 2 months a few small heads came back...6 months later it had 15 heads and was double the size when opened up.

Then I transferred tanks 4 months ago and it "Died" again. But today I have 6 heads on the original body. Along with 3 different branch's which broke off have 2-3 heads each as well....So while I havent really "lost" this coral it sure has given me some stress over the last 3 years. Easily my favorite coral.

Other than that I have only really lost cheap corals like a few small zoa frags, Cabbage Leather Coral (really cool ) and Xenia...it wont grow no how for me

My red and green brain coral it was a beautiful sized coral and it just decided to wither away still miss it

Me it was a 5" crazy red and bright green tip forest fire red digi colony. I didn't test a batch of new water I made (from the tap), needless to say it sent my tank into a crash. Never used tap water since for anything that has to do with my reef.

Moved my 75 into a 150. Lost most of it. I can't even remember all the one-off losses of nice pieces, there's been so many over the years.

My list starts here.



This was my first heart breaking loss. Got it as a two polyp frag from he-who-likes-to-frag-a-lot. Grew it out to a nice massive colony. Quite a conversion piece. Then it slowly melted away

Not even going to bother to list all the other because I eventually got numb to all the losses after this first one.

One of my favorite pieces in my tank

I lost the tequila sunrise blastos I got from Denny. It was growing great lots of new babies. I decided to frag it cut a couple heads off and within a week it was gone

When I changed from my 180 to my 26 cube I lost all my deep water acros.
I was most upset over this one

This is the other meaning of lost ...

I picked a very small frag of Setosa from Rich and had it for less than a week
It was glued to the LR and twice I found it laying on the sand
The third time it was knocked off I looked for it for over an hour. It simply vanished
