Hi,
Mine was a cool looking algae that i was told would be beneficial to the tank! I couldn't understand why it would retract when i touched it? Turned out that it was a colony of the hydroid "Pom Pom"......  Needles to say i flushed it and then had a few stern words with the LFS..... Regards, Simon.

Mine was a Majestic Angel. Just bought him put him into the tank and he got spooked and ended up right in my previous large carpet anemone. I eventually got him out but then had to QT him with some medication due to all the tenticles stuck to him. Unfortunatly he didnt survive.

I bought a clam waaaayyyyyy too early in my tanks lifetime. I've kept the shell in my tank as a constant reminder to slow down and take my time. The shell is being used now as a home for one of my damsels, so at least it's being used.

In time, say after a year or so, IME almost all yuma die. They are not ideal for the home aquarium, despite being eautiful. That is why I never sell them on the site...anthias are nice but generally just the squampinis, and sometimes the bartletts survive long term. Pricey and they do not live long-term, a combination to AVOID.

Wow, I have many. Here they are:
1.) $40 for a purple clawed lobster - I have had it for over 2 years, never see it, but once in awhile I peer into the rocks and see it, so it is still alive. And sometimes I get a skeleton shed, proving it is still there. Waste of money, as I never see it. 2.) SPS corals that don't last the night - RTN 3.) Several small fish, that jumped within a day or two 4.) Maroon Clown Fish - Beautiful fish, but dumb as dirt, and wants to host to anything. It is kinda like a dog that will hump anyones leg. This thing sweeps anything and everything to clean around it, thus keeping my water hazy much of the time. I WANNA KILL THIS THING, but that is the only time he is smart, as he stays away from me. 5.) having a clam die in a day. LFS tore the foot off, I didn't know any better, and it didn't make it. There is more, but just a taste of what I have.
