A particular hard-to-keep starfish...without researching it first. Eventually it starved to death and literally disintegrated in my tank I hate that my ignorance caused this death.

I regret buying an elegance knowing that it will die. After it died, I thought I could keep another one alive so I bought another one. After it died, I thought I could keep another one alive so I bought another one. After it died, I thought I could keep another one alive so I bought another one. blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Smart people learn from mistakes. I was dumb but I'm a little smarter now because I won't be buying a 5th elegance coral.

A Maxi-jet 1200. The power cord was sliced open right where it goes into the power head and I didn't pop that cover off to look. The morning after I put it in my tank everything except my chromis was dead. I assume that it leached a lot of copper into my tank.

A lfs did the same thing to my brother who resides in Victoria when he first started in the hobby. He bought a coral and when he got home he called me to ask about its care and when he told me about the "extra" he had to pay for i could not believe it at first.

I can see why you would not want the cross damsels. Have you tried feeding in a net?

I have been feeding in a net this week and then leaving the net hanging out of the aquarium so that the fish can get used to it. Day one nobody would go near the net, but by day two all fish were willing to enter the net to feed. You might want to try it out.
